New RBK753S - Stability / wifi connection reliability issues every other day so far? (fw V3.2.16.22)
I recently upgraded to the Orbi AX / Wifi 6 RBK753S (from the AC3000 RBK53). I never had any real issues with my RBK53, but since my ISP plan speed just went up again, I wanted to maximize throughput...
Something to try out, Disable AX mode on the RBR. Just the 5Ghz radio or both. Up to you.
Also set CTS values to 2347. Then retest the killer adapter.
Then maybe re-enabled AX both and re-test for consistency.
Disabled WMM and wifi speeds went way down to 68 Mbps, so will IMMEDIATELY re-enable that after a call and then next step is to find time between calls to install 3.2.16.x firmware again...
Hope 3.2.16.x helps; if not luckily I still have my RBK53.
Shame, I really wanted to enjoy the Orbi AX wifi speeds on my further away wireless devices (have an AX laptop in the other room).
If all else fails, I may have to try another AX solution to compare its wifi speeds to the RBK753S...
What are you using for CTS values? Default?
Let us know how it goes with prior version of FW.
