RBK40 Issues Resolved with latest firmware 1.11.0.20
I have the Orbi RBK40 with one satellite. I was experiencing the various issues described in other threads with instability. The signal would randomly drop, speeds fluctuated wildly from one second...

Did you try a factory reset when going to the new firmware?

Why would I have done a factory reset before updating to the new firmware? That makes no sense. When my system Auto Updated to 1.11.0.20 everything was perfect. When you all sent out 1.12.0.18 it created more problems that at any time I have owned this piece of junk. I successfully rolled back to 1.11.0.20 but it has only marginally improved things. So, as soon as I have an extra hour, I have no choice but to factor reset and try installing 1.11.0.20 again. If Orbi owners are going to have to do factory resets every time there is new firmware, that is simply unacceptable. I hope that isn't the case or I will find every place that sells the Orbi and give it the poor review it deserves. Fix it Netgear. I have wasted far too much of my time on a system you should have never sold with all of these bugs.

There are issues with the latest firmware for the RBK40/30 and our engineers are working on it so you will want to go back the last firmware until the latest firmware is released again.
