RBKE963 too slow
My WiFi 6E system is using the latest firmware and I have changed the channel to the less congested channel. Everything was fine right after changing the channel. But after a day or so it is very slo...

But in reality it was the RBKE963 & SRR90 both interfering each other in the house. Now the RBKE963 is at 570Mbps in the garden and RBS50Y from the SRR90 is doing 430Mbps.
My true challenge was learning to use the program - WiFi Analyzer, how to isolate the relevant information and screen out all the network in the neighborhood. Going back to square one, if and only if I bought the SRR90 in the first place, I would be only using 1x router at home.
NG, I would buy a Outside Extender that is compatible with the 6E system, even thou I can only use 5GHz outside. Then the SRR90 will be a back up in case the 6E fired.
There is more, much more. The RBKE963 does use two 80 MHz blocks, one for the user accessible 5 GHz fronthaul (AP), and one for the wireless backhaul. Then one more 80 MHz block for the SRS60/RBS50Y backhaul.

Do I need to save it on a PC? But I only have iPad, Note Pad and S21 Ultra here with me.
Many more things to learn. Also Android systems as well as iPad have file system where you can download configs to, and upload again later if required.

What program are you using for the insert of those numbers? I would like to use the same program and take a look at my cyber landscape. Also, does RBKE963 offer Implicit Beamforming? I turned on this option from the SRR90, and I gained around 120Mbps extra from using it. However, what are the down sides from using it? About the config file, after a factory reset, it is possible to load the config file without using the Orbi Program? I found this is only a facial makeup for the orbilogin.com… I have tried the .net version but it didn’t work.
The support from East India got deep accent, they are hard on my ears, and I found them offer no expertise on setup. I hope Netgear would improve their auto channel selection function cuz I have taken extraordinary measure to get this far. This forum thing reminds me of the good old days of OS/2 and bbs.

I saw this updating screen before but now that my firmware version is at 6.0.3.88_3.1.17. I do not see anything about the updating version screen. The only thing that I see now is the firmware version at the upper right corner of the home screen. So, how do I dig out this screen again?

The Firmware Update feature is found on the web administration, Advanced Tab, Administration, Firmware Update.

Arigatou, Admin. section is the. last place I would mess around… cuz I just fixed the signal jammed war at home (I m running 2x routers) and now running a 2 weeks test drive before saving the config file. I will go make sure the Router and all the Satellites are stand on the same version.

First thing first, I am running 2x systems on a 1Gbps modem connection (copper). RBKE963 & SRR90 with SRS90 & RBS50Yv2. Now my question is what is the max number of satellites that a RBKE963 supports? I added an extra one already, and I want to place one Satellite in each room. Making sure I got all 6E coverage taken care of. There are a lot of corners and wall at home. Right now there is one in living room (router), one in bedroom, one in the pet room and the one in the den. Hoping to add 3 more Satellites in 2 more rooms and dinning room. My house is right next to an apartment complex, so I got lots of SSID on my WiFi Analzyer as I was trying to troubleshoot my speed and signal strength. I m really impressed that there are 12x antennas. My SRR90 and RBS50Yv2 is doing great at 40 -dB now… but the RBKE963 is fooling around at 70 -dB
I have used 6GHz & 5GHz only with IoT and Guests enabled. But I don’t know why the IoT and the Guests are both performing better than the regular SSID and 6GHz in the garden. Well, I put them behind the window, hoping the leaking 6GHz would help and polish my speed a little in the garden. Now if I got too many Satellites would I invited more signal jamming simply because they are just too close to each other? I m dying for Apple to release 6E on all their products. Want an 6E iPad Pro and an 6E iPhone.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Orbi WiFi 6 (AX) and WiFi 6E (AXE) - NETGEAR Communities
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
