Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since the FW update?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Been suffering from playing stuttering 4k on KODI from a SONY Z9F TV. My connection is:
Ground floor: Kodi on SONY Z9F wired to RBR40 router, wireless to
First floor: Windows 10 on PC wired to RBS40.
The distance is no more than 10 metres but on different floor. RBK40 with lastest firmware.
1080 or less is fine, but some of 4K seem to be too much for my RBK. Seems the backhaul speed is around 20 MBps
Any suggestions to improve my situation?
Thanks in advance.
