Have you tried the .40 firmware?

 

I was also having lots of issues with .38 (slowdown especially on iPads), but the .40 hot-fix seems to have resolved many of the issues.

 

I'm tempted to go back to .30,  because I remeber that everything was really good prior to .38

 

Thanks!

There isn't any documented change between v38/40 that would have magically resolved network/slowdown issues.  It's likely a result of Orbi network starting to settle down since upgrading to v38, then again from v38 to v40.  Unless clients continue to have WiFi connectivity issues, I would stick with v40 a bit longer and see if things improve/stabilize over time.  Good luck either way!
