RBR850 slowed down after 4.6.3.9 firmware. unable to revert to 3.2.18.1_1.4.14 firmware
Recently did a manual firmware update for the RBR850 and RBS850 to version 4.6.3.9 because of the security related fixes. Somehow internet seems a lot slower since. 1-2 min interrupts are most notic...
Perform a full factory reset on both router and satellite(s) then set up from scratch.
Disable AX mode on the RBR.
Set CTS to 2347 on the RBR.
Speed test with a wired PC and Ooklas installable speed test app to check speeds.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Somehow internet seems a lot slower since. 1-2 min interrupts are most noticable with streaming apps Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ etc.
Trying to do a manual revert back to the previous 3.2.18.1_1.4.14 firmware but that gives a page with:

I had the exact same problem.
I have fiber 1Gbps up/down. Before upgrading to 4.6.3.9, I got about 300Mbps on wifi, but I got at best 20Mbps after upgrading.
I tried warm rebooting, changing channels, cold reboot, but nothing worked. The speed test on Orbi shows the speed I am supposed to get.
I ended up doing a factory reset. Now I got wifi speed better than before 4.6.3.9, getting about 470Mbps.
Got happy family again.
