RBR40 slow wifi
Hello, I have the RBR40 and the two wall plug satellites that came with it. System has work great for over a year. In the past few weeks, the wifi speeed slowed to a crawl. I was about 300mbps down, ...
I already have 2.5.16 on my RBR40. My sats are RBW30, not RBS40. Im theorizing that firmware V2.5.0.4 on my RBW30s started all my problems.
What was last working version of FW on the RBWs?

I'm not sure. I didnt write down the version. I just updated when the UI say a new firmware is available.
You might try to roll them back to last version posted on NGs web site and see if anything changes. I would push the udpate thru the RBWs web page and then factory reset them and then re-add them.

How do you access the RBWs web page?
They should have an associated IP address listed on the RBRs web page. Use this IP address in a web browser to access the RBWs web page.
This didnt work. The Sats just say the firmware failed to upload. Any other ideas?
I would make contact with NG support on this...
Thanks for all your help. I just think I have an outdated system and Netgear hasnt fully tested their firmware updates with my system. Its odd, my iphone will get 10 down, .4 up, I wont move, reboot the Orbi via the app, once the phone reconnects, super fast. Wait a while, slow again. I disappointed in Netgear for pushing an update (only thing that changed), that I cant roll back and makes my wifi unstable.
I would call support, but looks like I have to pay. Hmmm
Can contact a forum moderator to see what your options are.
Seems like you should be able to downgrade the FW though... :smileyfrustrated:
