Did you ever factory reset the unit since updating it?

Just wanted post the update regarding the issue now my replacment Orbi has arrived
Tested it with default firmware speed was more are like same 20-40mbps
So updated both Router/Satellite to latest version V2.0.0.72. Looks like this have fixed the issues, Now on speedtest seeing speeds like 85-95mbps, Even near the Satellite which is like 35 feet away from my router also giving similar speeds.
So just wanted to ask one question. So I need to do a factory reset of both Router/Modem now after upgrading the firmware is this a must?
Thanks
If it ain't broken, don't fix it, that's my opinion, I have never done a factory reset after upgrading firmware and I have never experienced any issues, anyway if you still decide to do it, remember to backup your configuration in settings so you don't have to re-do the whole thing again, but if I was you I wouldn't do a factory reset, only do that when you have issues you can not normaly fix.
Thanks sir for the advice. Will keep using this as of now without doing a factory reset
You can consider using freeware version such as NetSpot to check which wifi, channels, and strength are surrounding ur environment before you decide which channel to switch on your Orbi router. I find this step to be very useful in choosing the optimal channel.
