New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released

On 9/24/21, Netgear second level support called to gather more info specific to daisy chain no longer used for a satellite connection. My house is a wide, single level and the router has to be at one end of the house. One satellite is roughly in the middle and the last satellite is at the far opposite end. While on the 3x level of firmware, the far satellite would daisy chain from the middle node (there's actually line of sight of about 40 feet between the 2 satellites) 

On FW 4.x both of the satellites homerun back to the router. While both show "good" and are stable, the performance at the far satellite is diminished. On FW 3.x, I had no issues streaming 2 x 4k videos from streaming services or my Linux media servers (hard wired at rbr) but on 4.x, only 1 stream can run without buffering. Subsequent to the update, one of the Rokus will only connect as 2.4 which might be part of the problem.

Over the course of the hour long call, they had me collect debug logs from the 3 nodes while running and also while booting.

They requested the serial numbers of the devices which makes me wonder if they are looking for a possible manufacturing issue that wasn't identified with their internal test beds.

The last time they requested debug logs it took a few weeks to get a follow-up so I guess I sit and wait.
