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

I have an RBR750 with one RBS750 attached.
Was connected to cable modem by Ethernet and running in AP mode. All working great.
Recently was prompted to update firmware by orbi app. Now Wi-Fi completely unstable in AP mode - allowing connection for seconds at a time. Works ok in router mode but blocks internal traffic to server attached to cable modem. Completely useless since firmware update last week. I have tried rolling back the firmware - can do so on Satellite but blocked on router.
Major bug in new firmware. Any suggestions?

RBR750 and this new update has reduced my speeds form 900MBPS to 600MBPS, and capped the RBS750 Ethernet connected devices with CAT 6 cables to 95MBPS.
What’s the deal?!?!
Fix this.

Is this speed result with the RBRs speed test app on it's web page or thru a external speed test app?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update on the RBR and RBS?

Fix this.- DieselroseAug 04, 2021TutorThe 900MBPS speed test vs 600MBPS speed test was via the app.
The download speed of 95MBPS is me visually watching it via the Xbox.
If I switch the Xbox to wifi it downloads at 270MBPS vs Ethernet which caps out at 95MBPS.
Before this firmware update ethernet, which is CAT 6 cable, was fine.- FURRYe38Aug 04, 2021Guru - Experienced User
There is a known issue with the RBRs speed test app and I believe Orbi app not reporting 900Mpbs speeds correctly for those with 1Gb service. However actual speed results using a external speedtest app like Ooklas reports the full 900Mpbs.
You might factory reset the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch. Power OFF The RBS for 30 seconds then back ON then try speed testing at the RBS with xbox.
- Gatorade2000Aug 04, 2021ApprenticeFURRYe38, wont any external app report speed over wifi vs orbi app that reports speed at modem port?

I presume they should. I mostly use Ooklas app on a wired PC, phone or pad.
