Hi community,
I have recently updated my rbs750 and rbr750 to the latest firmware and I'm getting the slowest performance possible, with frequent drops.
I've done factory resets with re-installs, all the power cycles and have not seem improvement. My last resort is to manually downgrade to 4.6.11 and see if that helps.
Has anyone else experienced frequent drops on 4.6.14?

I haven't here.
- pcovi76Mar 06, 2023AspirantI dont understand how. Everything I upgrade firmware it is a constant intermittent drop of singal. How does anyone have a clean install. I'm at my wits end and am thinking of switching to a different router system.
I downgraded to 4.6.11 last night and it was super fast, like a new setup 1.2mps initially then waking up this am I see pink lights. After a power cycle, it's back to 700-800mbps which is still good but why do I have to power cycle for stability?
The orbi app just sucks and works on/off. Support sucks. The community is way better than paid support.
I'll post my config later but what is the problem? Is there a recommended configuration post somewhere that offers stability?
Is it better on different routers? Do I have to look downstream to my modem potentially causing a conflict?- jdk1120Mar 06, 2023ApprenticeHi pcovi,
I totally feel your pain. Orbi, given its superior technology and high price point, is basically the Lamborghini of routers; but like a Lamborghini, it has a lot of issues.
I had the same issue. I recently resolved it (a week of stability so far) by *manually* upgrading to the latest firmware - satellites first and then router. Doing an auto update to this exact same firmware gave me the disconnect issues.
In a way, I wish I spent half the price and got the eero router instead of Rbr750, but I'm glad things are a bit better now.. Hope this resolves your issue too.
