Did anyone notice that after a factory reset on this firmware version, the default 5ghz channel is now 40 by default? The previous default used to be 48. Any reason why Netgear would change this?
I was told a long time about in Orbi 8 series days that NG found channel 40 worked best. Something I've been using since and haven't had any problems. They seem to recommend not using channel 36, I can't remember the details but they recommended avoiding 36, only used as last resort kind of thing. 44 and 48 are still good channels that can be used if 36 and 40 are congested or as a troubleshooting step.
Thanks, FURRYe38, for the additional information! I'll keep it on 40 as suggested.

2.5Gb ports used for ethernet connected RBS. CAT6A STP cabling for these ports.
Working great.
