Speeds have plummeted after latest update.
New to Orbi and have been delighted with its speed. I have 500 internet and all over the house was getting very fast speeds and always without exception full upload speed of 35. As soon as I’ve u...
OK so I worked out how to backdate the firmware and did it only on my 2 satellites so far. Suddenly my speeds are straight back to where they were (I also noticed the ping drop back down a couple of points, it had gone up post latest firmware).
So there is something definitely broken in this firmware.
Question is, do I also roll back the main Orbi Router firmware or leave that on the latest and the satellites on the last version?
Thanks
Further update, rolled back the router firmware so they are all on the same.
All previous speeds and throughput is now immediately restored.
Morale or this story- never upgrade stable Netgear firmware, I will not be doing it again.
- Glad you figured out how to roll back the firmware! Happy your system isn’t garbage anymore!
Glad to see/read you got it resolved. It is a sad instance when firmware makes our products worse.
Hopefully the firmware crews look at the complaints about the most recent firmware and get some fixes in action.
