RBK863 firmware update
I tryed updating to latest firmware soon as I did there was an instability with my download speeds went from 1Gb to about 5 to 10Mbps, I tryed resetting to factory setting and updating with the same ...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
It's the calix GigaPoint GP1100G, also i have a cat 6A SFTP which i have tested and is testing perfectly to 10Gb I'm not able to test higher, also run power separately in a compleet different way aswell as all my ethernet runs are atleest 3 feet away from any power cables in walls and in floors as I planned every single run, everything what has an ethernet port has 2 ethernet runs to them just as a fail safe aswell as for stability.
Should only have single runs from the router to the RBS. If you have double connections, this could cause ARP storms. LAN cables are designed to provide single line services in between connected devices.
Sorry didn't mention it I've a switch aswell so my 2 RBS are connected directly to the RBR with wired backhaul, then I have a network switch connected to the RBR aswell what handles all my tvs, game consoles and anything else what has ethernet connectivity.
I think the issue is resoled i have just updated with a different web browser and seems to be working fine now after updating finger's crossed it stays stable if so it was updating with Chrome what the issue was.
Interesting.
Keep us posted in next 3 days, if good, mark it solved.
Ya, I avoid using Chrome for any FW updating operations. I stick with MS Edge most of the time or Firefox for back up.
