Orbi RBR750 Firmware V4.6.5.14_2.0.54 causing WiFi 6 issues
I just upgraded to firmware V4.6.5.14_2.0.54 and now having connection & performance issues. My Samsung Note 10+ which has always connected as WiFi 6 is now constantly loosing WiFi 6 status unless I...
The service provider is Verizon Fios and the WiFi in the router is turned off/disabled.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft: 2300.
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? The router is upstairs where I could run an Ethernet cable from the Fios modem to it. The satellite is downstairs on the complete opposite side of the home - at least 100-feet.
The Orbi is configured as AP mode only.
The Orbi WiFi channels are configured as 2.4GHz Channel: 11 and 5GHz Channel: 36.
I also have a Nighthawk R7900P that I kept since I have older IoT devices that would not connect to the Orbi even after turning off AX on 2.4GHz (per a Netgear tech). It is setup 2.4GHz Channel: 1 and 5GHz Channel: 161. (only 1-5Ghz antenna enabled)
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many? There are a few. I am attaching a screenshot from WiFi Analyzer (Android App).
I never had these problems until the firmware update.
Forgot to upload the WiFi Analyzer 5Ghz graph
Try disabling AX mode on 2.4Ghz.
Change CTS values to 2347 Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try using channel 40 on 5Ghz.
You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well.

Did you want to change CTS on both frequencies? Attaching screenshots of settings. BTW, might I suggest changing the UI in the Advanced/CTS section? At first I thought the setting was not available since it is greyed-out (see screenshots). Then when I realized I could type in the boxes, I made the change.
Forgot this attachment.
