Since the upgrade, the wifi is very unstable. Most of the time it's so slow it's simply not usable. It is working then suddenly it becomes very slow for a while.
My internet connection is working well and wired connections are working also very well. No special settings configured. Router is set up in router mode.
Does anyone already encountered such a behavior with this fw?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Lesson learned.....not all firmware is created equal. If your system is working, no need to upgrade the firmware. NG will push FW with major revisions automatically.

Similar issues ,. but in my case I didnt perform any update activity , Autoupdate is running again in the Orbi Systems? .
As you mentioned , my system was running perfectly fine , and now I have a terrible issue not only with the persomance but with no devices connected to the satellite .
