How do I manually upgrade firmware on my Orbi router using orbilogin.com?
Thank you for your patience,

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update?

Don’t know anyone having the same problem with me, I am having problem with the connection between the router and satellite after updated to the latest firmware, it keep changing the connection type of the backhaul from 5ghz to wired and back to 5ghz but I never connect them by Ethernet. And all my devices the connected to the satellite will drop connection when the backhaul connection keep changing. I am not sure when my Orbi got updated, I just notice it when the problem start showing. Seen we can’t downgrade the firmware now, so I can’t confirm it cause by the firmware or not……
Netgear support has just told me that the internal speed test was finally fine.
It's just the displayed download bandwidth value that is wrong on Orbi App & Orbi website.
- ok, now we should all back to our kennel
There seems to be another problem with this firmware relating to handoff between main and satellite. I've noticed that when I move around the house, I will sometimes get situations where the Wifi strength still appears very strong (full bars) but all of a sudden I will get a "no Internet connection" message. I can clear the problem by joining a different Wifi network and then rejoining my home network. I've tried turning off private Wifi addresses. Only tested on an iPhone because that is the only thing that moves around the house a lot. This behavior is unique to the update. It seems like the Orbi is not always keeping track of which unit (main vs satellite) the endpoint is attached to. The problem never happens if I turn off the satellite altogether but that defeats the point of the mesh network.
So is the speed results to spec on the RBRs speed test app?

Has anyone tried to uncheck the "Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence" in the wifi settings?
What i have seen so far (to be honest, I am also running the Beta) is that this change had a huge impact on the issue with disconnecting ipads/iphone (in a positive way)
