Since the update to the latest firmware (4.6.3.16) things are getting even worse than with the previous firmware version
My current setup includes COSTCO RBK753S kit with the router and 2 satellites. In order to have better control over DHCP, I am using PiHole
which is my DNS and DHCP server, so the router's DHCP is disabled.
Everything was fine with previous firmware, the backbone channels were stable and I didn't have any issues except for random drops of wifi from some of my devices (I have about 24 devices connected).
Since the forced upgrade to the latest firmware I am constantly experiencing lagginess with all the devices that are connected to the satellites. Web sites are slow, some of the sites I am unable to connect to at all, especially from my smartphones. switching off the wifi and getting on cellular data immediately resolve the issues. Same if I stand close to the router and reconnect the Wifi - the same sites that didn't work with satellite connection start working fine with the connection to the router.
I have reset both satellites several times, I have reset the router - nothing helps. I am still getting connection timeouts for many applications running on my phone or other phones inside the network as well as some sites on my working laptop.
I am working from home, the connectivity is vital to me, so I am close to return this amazing peace of untested **bleep** hardware/software back to Costco and buy a different mesh system (my house is about 7000 sq ft so I don't think the regular router will be able to cover the whole house, but I may try this as well. Unfortunately I have no way to downgrade the software on these devices to get back to the stable (3.X) version.
