I would also presume there maybe a HW fault as well and not actually a FW issue. LAN cables and end point devices should be checked as well to help narrow down where the problem is actually at.
I can say for my 7 and 8 series, I have not seen this issue since day one when Orbi AX was installed. I would have seen this and also did due diligence to narrow down where the problem is pointing too.
I recommend for those that are seeing this, please make contact with NG support if you are seeing problems to let them know what your experiencing. They don't know whats happening if you don't let them know.
This FW version was a next step in getting some better stability for users that have already been having problems after v4 came out. From what I see and can tell it's is a step in the right direction however it's not perfect. It is WAY better than older versions IMO. NG is aware of everyones concerns about FW.
Good morning. I decided to return my Orbi. I've spent several hours with Netgear support, plus many more hours of my own time, trying to tweak settings and make other changes. After running an Asus XT8 system, which got almost identical numbers out of the gate without any adjustments, I decided that is the better solution for me. Plus, it's a little more affordable and allows me to add an additional node or two to cover hard-to-reach areas in my house.
FWIW, I didn't experience a difference between the released and beta firmware versions. Both performed the same, and I downloaded the beta at the advice of the Netgear support, when the root cause of my performance is likely signal interference, the layout of my house and network, and/or the nature of a mesh wifi solution (or some combination of all three).
Thanks for the dialogue, and I wish you success in getting your Orbi networks optimized. I am 99% sure that I'll stick with this Asus solution. Cheers!
Thanks for letting us know.
Good Luck.
