Add me to the list of having non stop issues since this FW upgrade.  My wired satellite constantly loses conection.   I have not noticed issues yet w/ the router, only the satellite.

    How is the RBS connected to the RBR? Directly or is there a LAN switch in between? 

    Is the RBS loaded with same version of FW? 

    What is the CAT# version being used? CAT6 is recommended. 

     

    Has a factory reset been performed since last FW update and setup from scratch? 

    Also v16 for 7 series Orbi has been superseded by:

      My RBR 850 is connected via cat5E to the RBS850, no switch in between

      Both the RBR and RBS are running V4.6.3.16_2.0.51

      I have done a factory reset and have set up the orbi again and still have the same issues.

       

      the overall speed is much slower than it was before this latest firmware (i have gigabit internet and I tested it via the orbi app at 927Mbps).  The Wi-Fi speed is now down to 187Mbps, the upload speed is 231Mbps.
