Slow downloads due to high CPU load with V1.12.0.18 firmware
My internet access is 1000/100, and requires VLAN tagging to connect. This has been working very well with the Orbi for the last couple of months. Since upgrading to V1.12.0.18, my download speed...
Hello bigfellanz
Did you try a factory reset after going to the new firmware?

Have you guys missed the massive thread covering this and a myriad of other issues with the V1.12.0.18 firmware? It's eight pages and growing and it's been filled with complaints since the firmware was released.
Here it is, just in case:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Firmware-V1-12-0-18-Discussion/td-p/1320421/page/8
I have this exact issue, VLAN tagging, cpu pegging at 100, ethernet to internet speeds dropped from 750Mbps to 100Mbps. Factory resetting doesn't fix the problem, the issue is the firmware and the only resolution is to roll it back, but unfortunately there's no way to disable auto-updates.
Can we please get some response beyond the first level toggle the power/factory reset stuff?

What you're describing is what some of us were experencing with 1.11.x. For some of us, 1.12.0.16-18 fixed these issues.

I don't have this issue with 1.11, only 1.12. They may we'll be two separate issues with similar symptoms. 1.11 it's far more stable for me, 1.12 is buggy as hell.
What's your maximum internet connection speed?

300/20 is my service speed, and I regularly get 350/25.
1.11 broke a perfectly stable Orbi setup with two sats for my 90+ devices, and thankfully, 1.12.0.16-18 fixed what 1.11 broke. There are definitely a lot of different issues going on, but 1.12.0.16-18 is near perfect.

Yep. Connected to Vodafone FibreX, which is functionally the same as UFB from a CPE configuration point of view.
