New Firmware V4.3.3.106 Tanks Orbi Wifi 6 Mini Pro Speeds
I have a SRX30 Orbi wifi6 Mini Pro with 2 satelittes. After upgrading to V4.3.3.106, the wifi speeds have absolutely cratered on the router. Speeds went from 400mb/s on my iphone 13 to 20mb. I've tried multiple devices, laptops, etc. Speeds when connected to the satellite directly via LAN cable are good, 300+ mb, but this firmware has absolutely broke the wifi. For reference, I am not doing any bandwidth throttling on the SSID. Anyone else having his issue?

Is this enabled on the SXR?
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-App/NETGEAR-Mobile-Applications-and-Apple-Devices-FAQ/td-p/2220016/jump-to/first-unread-messageSo I figured out the issue.
I use wireless 2 (employee) for my main wireless.
When wireless 1 is disabled, the performance of wireless 2 tanks to 20mbps. When Wireless 1 is enable, performance on wireless 2 is excellent.
This is definitely a new bug introduced in 4.3.3.106.Something messed-up in the VLAN membership for a LAN, WiFi network, for employee and the default LAN 1? Why not using the default LAN 1 instead of the Employee LAN 2? From wally brain, the Employee VLAN is on VLAN 20 by default, the default LAN 1 on VLAN 1 ... somehow managed to merge these?
Wireless 1 is supposed to be used for administration, wireless 2 for general use. This isn't related to VLANs and LAN IDs.
So what happens if you use WiFi 1 instead of 2 for your main?
Still haven't let us know if you have this enabled or not on your SXR:
Possible NG changed the behavior on WiFi 2 and it's not a bug. You might get ahold of NG support and ask them about this.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update to check this?
I've always used Wireless 2 as the orbi advised Wireless 1 was for administration.
yes, UL-OFDMA is enabled. Yes I did a factory reset, that's how I fixed it the first time, because it re-enabled Wireless 1.
It's no longer an issue as I can just leave Wireless 1 enabled, but forever reason, the new firmware cap the downloads of Wireless 2 at 20mb when wireless 1 is disabled, either without SSID Bandwidth throttling enabled.
