After update poor Backhaul
Hello, recently I've updated the firmware on my Orbi system to 3.2.16.6, but this update has caused both my orbi satellites to have poor backhaull as well as change the connection type to both 5ghz. ...
I've moved my satalites to about 25 feet, and have done a hard reset. I still get poor backhaul and 2 5ghz connection.
I had a similar issue.
So I brought all the Orbi's into a single room, performed factory reset on all devices, and then performed a full setup from scratch. Once I had them all working correctly, I then moved them to there desired locations, ensuring the RBR was as central to the two satellites as possible.
As I live in a large Victorian House with very thick walls, I eventually ended up having to hard wire all the Orbi Satellites directly to the Orbi Router!
