What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Do a factory reset with the base router. Wire connect a PC to the router and setup from scratch. Do not enable QoS, Traffic Meter and Access controls.
What are the wired speeds tests results with a PC.

I use to get arround 940Mb with simple Asus router.
With Orbi router get arround 600Mb in LAN in the router..
Wifi near Router is arround 500-600Mb (not making any sense).
Router Mode.
Get a DHCP in WAN directly from ISP to orbi router, so no middle box to nlame here.
Latest FW V2.2.1.210
Any ideas?
Almost got a heart attack after buying this expnlensive Mesh.
Thank you
- FW version is 2.2.1.210.
I got Fiber 1G FTTH , with SFP to Rj45 converter and cat6 cable directly to NG.
Netgear support suggested downgrade version to 2.1.4.16.
Is there a known issue with current one that needs to be downgrade?
Didnt have the chance to just factory default both units.
ThanksSome have said the v210 doesnt' work well with 1Gb speeds...
If you downgrade, please manually install the FW file to the Router only. You don't have to downgrade the satellites. Do a factory reset on the router and setup from scratch and do a wired speed test with a PC.
- Tried downgrade.
Not made it through, as sooj as it got back on was auto update to latest.
I dont know which model, how can I check?
Is there a chance the Orbi cannot handel as main router instead of ISPs router?
