Slower Orbi Speedtest after upgrade to firmware4.6.3.7 ...

I just upgraded my RBR and RBS 850 to firmware to 4.6.3.7.

I have xfinity gig + internet and was previously gettin 1100-1300 on Orbi App speedtest. Now getting 800-900. Xfinity days my internet is fine so I think this has something to do with Netgear update. Anyone else seeing same and have a fix?

      The firmware appears as V4.6.3.9_2.0.50 in my router interface.  My modem is the Netgear CM2050v-100NAS.

       

      I have not tried a reboot of the modem and the router.  Will give that a shot.  General speed is still quite good (800-900), but I was seeing 1100-1300 in the Orbi App speedtest which I assumed reflected that I have the Xfinity gig+ internet (1200 speed supposedly).

        There is a known speed test result inaccuracy in v4 FW. NG is working on it.
