Has anyone had an issue with this firmware where they will see wifi connections running around half the speed you would expect? It was running perfectly for a while, but recently, on wifi I'm only seeing about half the download speed. Upload is fine.
I've tried changing all the normal fault steps including hard resets, factory default, turn off, pray to netgear gods. I was about to downgrade but have just seen the warning that this is not recommended either?
On the orbi interface itself, speeds are fine, connected directly to my router, speeds are fine but wifi its around half what I'm seeing, even when stood a few feet from main router with direct line of sight.
I've tried changing all usual settings also, CTS, AX mode on and off, wifi channels. I really wanted to rollback firmware again to 3.x but have just seen the warnings. If this can't be solved then I'm going get rid of Orbi
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch.
I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute. Factory reset the Orbi router and power it off. Power ON the ISP modem and let it sync. Then power ON the Orbi router and walk thru the setup wizard again using a wired PC and a web browser.
Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release.
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 RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Doing a factory reset appears to have returned my RBK753 setup to stability. I'll be testing for a few more days, but v4.6.7.5 is working for me again.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I don't use IP6 but turned it on to see if I would see any memory leak. Over the last 2 days or so it won't from 431MB down to 415Mb when I turned it on, now running at 436Mb
Not sure why system isn't uploading my screenshot
Keep us posted on your memory usage. Would like to see what happens if it get near max value.
