v.11 may have been the last version that had it supported. Even though the article is two years old, may have been a slow roll out or change across multiple products over time as this effects both Orbi and Nighthawk product lines that have lots of different models to cover.
I wouldn't look for this to be in any future FW versions as again, this was removed by NG for security reasons. Just like Telnet was. This isn't new to the Orbi domain.
I recently updated to this and started getting the dreaded lag spikes (e.g., intermittent 2-second freezes during Zoom calls every 5-10 minutes) that came with a disastrous software update from Netgear in 2021.
I am hoping that this is a one-off issue rather than a systematic one. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I hope not.
I rebooted my router and problem persists. Any settings I should tinker with?
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. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.
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.

I’ve been experiencing the same thing. Also, every 7 to 10 days the router goes offline, and I have to unplug and restart it. Its happened consistently since I upgraded the firmware in early January.
I’m going to try a full factory reset it in the near future to see if it addresses the problem, just start occurring after upgrading to 4.6.14.3.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
