Well - I have the RBR850 & RBS850 - today I noticed network wifi issues. Orbi reported connectivity per device at 54 Mbps where they were much higher in the past. Speed tests over wifi were in the 20's as described. Hardwired speeds were fine.
Did all necessary troubleshooting steps before finally reseting to factory defaults by pressing the button on the RBR850. After setting up as new, everything started working as they did before.
I've been trying to find out if the router updated last night (9/15/21 - 9/16/21) or what may have happened. What I hate is Netgear doesn't seem to list all firmwares with dates released. The site doesn't seem to have 4.6.3.16 lsited for the RBR850 but mine is reporting it. Last it has is 4.6.3.9. Not sure what's going on - but glad to see I'm not alone. I guess.
Thanks!- T

I guess you saw I did that. My purpose in posting here was to ensure it's known this FW update impacted multiple models of router. This was the first thread I found - I came here because I was having problems and could not contact support without paying. Which - I have to say - I'm pretty pissed about given it's THEIR update that caused the issue.
Where was the QA on this? I've had problems with Cisco in the past, but dang - this was the worst. Can't recommend Orbi or any other Netgear product now until we see improvements in implementation, control, and support.
