960 Firmware V6.3.7.5 No more CTS/RTS Setting
In the past, you could find the CTS/RTS settings for wireless under Advanced, Advanced, Wireless settings. But now its not there! Any idea how to find it or change in the new Firmware?

Probably NG changed to be all automatic now. Same goes for Beamforming, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming.
Also was told 64 is optimal value by NG unless you have more then 3 RBS deployed.
- Maybe. But I have Devices that won’t connect now and they used to. And the fix was changing those values. So I need to know how to change them.
Does anyone know how to change them with this new firmware?IF they are not in the UI any longer then there isn't any way to change them as the feature has been removed from user access.
What devices do you have that are not connecting?
How is the RBRs wifi settings configured?
Are you using the IoT or separate SSID networks at all?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I had not noticed that the CTS/RTS advanced setting was removed in the latest AXE firmware 6.3.7.5. Thanks for calling that out. Thankfully my legacy devices still seem connected to my IoT network that is set for 2.4Ghz only, WPA2-PSK [AES], and AX is disabled for 2.4Ghz.
- I am having similar issues with this update. I have Twinkly Xmas lights that are acting up now. I too previously manually set my CTS threshold to fix other issues with devices. I just spent 2.5 hrs this AM resetting and resyncing the Orbi and satellites (RBRE960). I’m going to give it a day or so and see if I have issues again. And try your suggestion about rolling firmware back.
The weird thing with this update is I never applied it- I just noticed the new firmware when troubleshooting the problems today. Needless to say I turned off auto-updates. I spent a small fortune and the firmware is worse than a windows update!- 1000% agree! Given the amount of money we paid. And the distance of time between the original firmware and this (at least a year), I would of expected significant improvements, not degradation! They really need to fix this asap!
