Slower Speeds after firmware upgrade
I recently upgraded my orbi routers to firmware version V2.7.2.102 (both router and satellite) and noticing slower upload/download speeds over WiFi.
my internet connection is about 300Mbps and my wifi devices are seeing around
200 Mbps download and 120 Mbps upload.
However when i sit next to router, i get ~300 download/200upload.
I had better speeds before this upgrade. WiFi signal looks good though.
Is anyone seeing similar problems? or suggest any possible solution please...

I'm getting 480.31 Mbps down and 23.64 Mbps up on a PC ethernet connectedto the router. This is slightly higher than my service speeds.
On WiFi, sitting in the same room as the router, I'm getting 540 Mbps from my iPhone to the router, as checked by the "WiFi Sweetspots" app on the iphone.
This app tests the data transfer rate between the iOS device and the WiFi access point. It is independent of any bottlenecks on the internet WAN side.
As for suggestions:
Disable Daisy Chain if you have only 1 satellite (or are using star topology), enable Beamforming and MU-MIMO in the advanced wireless setup.
What type of speeds were you getting before the firmware update?
I tried android version of "WiFi Sweetspots" but a bit confused. My internet speed is 370Mbps. but i see 585Mbps with the app... is it calcluating device-to-router only?

Yes. Only between the device and host signal connection. This is not actual thruput speeds to the internet.
