RBK753S - Much slower wifi speeds after AUTO firmware upgrade to 3.2.18.1! 3.2.17.x was MUCH faster
I had intentionally downgraded my RBK753S from 3.2.18.1 to 3.2.17.x and with 3.2.17.x, everything was great! But this morning I noticed that my firmware updated automatically to 3.2.18.1, which seem...
Quick update - Since I am / was experiencing the low speeds noted above (330 - 350 Mbps), I just disconnected and reconnected my Netgear A7000 wifi adapater from the network in Win 10 (did NOT unplug it).
After reconnecting to the network, speeds improved to 430 Mbps on first run after reconnecting, then 471 Mbps, 476 Mbps, 468 Mbps, one slower one of 451.7 Mbps but much better than before the disconnect/reconnect, and then 470 Mbps.
Will monitor stabilty after a few hours and also after a full day or two / after restarts / hibernates/ shutdowns etc.
I may go back and re-test with CTS set to 2347 and see how that does.

No noticeable adverse effects here with CTS set to 2347, but I have not extensively tested concurrent intensive connections (e.g. downloads, concurrent streaming etc.), but I would have likely noticed by now anyway given typical activity.
Sounds good. Ya, not sure why NG went with 64 instead of 2347 which is on there older systems. Seems to be a mixed bag of it works form some and not others. At least we can change that value.
