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?

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!
Have you tired disabling AX mode on 2.4Ghz?
