I have had major Wifi issues with this new update (7.2.6.21)
I have had major Wifi issues with this new update (7.2.6.21). It was working intense slow and hanging for all devices (probably package drops?). The interface of the RBR750 was fast. For example the ...
Fair point, it's not a solution. This week no time to deep dive. But I'll give a retry soon. You suggest to Facotry reset and update firmware from there.
Bit of context
The problem is not the cables or distance. I do get max ISP speeds (512 down/45 up) through cables and wifi now mostly everywhere in house. It's configured as static (modem x.x.x.1, dhcp-server x.x.x.2 and the RBR x.x.x.3, RBS x.x.x.4.) since ISP modem does not allow custom DNS in DHCP, an old Linksys router (wifi disabled) serves as DHCP server starting pool x.x.x.20 for clients. Note DNS is pointing to public IP of an ad-block-service (https://nextdns.io/?from=uwh7zeae). modem from ISP has 4 ports and go direct into mentioned devices. RBR (living room) connected to 8p switch to connect all media stuff.

What is the Mfr and model# of the host router the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the host router and router.
Are you using the RBR in router mode or AP mode?
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 RBS️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.
How is the RBS ethernet connected? Directly behind the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between? Brand and model of this switch if one is present.
Channel configuration used on the RBR?
