Re: Major Firmware 7.2.6.31 issues
I am experiencing the same situation as you are on my RBR853. I am thinking of downloading 7.2.6.21 as I am out of ideas. (I was originally still on 4.x version, then upgraded a few weeks ago to 7.2...

1) Why did it work on older firmware, but not this firmware. Possible something in the RBS or RBR FW. Would need to see same graph with NetSpot on prior version to compare. How was the RBS and RBR FW updated? Automatic? Manually? Update ALL?
I updated Manually. The update wasn't showing up as an automatic update.
And you said your RBR is in the basement which will be a factor as well. Would be great if you can get this one the main level of the home and then recheck NetSpot.
It used to be, but I ran a Cat 6 Cable to the basement and moved it to the main floor. It is now in the very middle of the house. The netspot charts all reflect the RBR in the middle of the house.
I had one RBS online and connected and NetSpot showed similar graph with the one RBS as with just RBR alone. I didn't see any kind of drops like you have with yours.
I wish I knew why this was happening. Overall, my RBK853 hasn't been as stable as my RBK53 was. I wonder if this is why.. it just got worse with the latest update. As mentioned, my google cameras are definitely working better now with all the other wifi signals disabled, and the satellites off. I will try soon to turn at least one satellite back on. My one second floor satellite is at the front of the house - technically very close to the cameras if you were to ignore the floors and walls. I wonder if I should move it further away 😐
Are the dlink entries listed in netspot yours or someone else's?
The d-link entries are my neighbors wifi. It was strong enough that I felt I would leave it on the graphs.
