Thank you for the much-awaited update. I was beginning to think we had been forgotten about.
Will post an update if I encounter any issues. But thus far things seem quite reliable.
I did a Speedtest using Orbi app to get speeds to my router and then tested to my computer over WiFi7 to see how much of that I can get over WiFi. Looking great and better than the throughput I was getting on the old firmware (not sure yet if that is meaningful).
I have XFinity Gigabit X2 with 2000DL/200UL
Speedtest on Router: 2308/239
Speedtest on Wifi7 Laptop within 20 feet of router: 1532/239, Ping: 9
Speedtest on iPhone 15Pro (WiFi 6E) within 20 feet of router: 1333/237 Ping: 17

Glad you got it updated. Be sure to save off a new back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

- SpeedPro_03Jun 21, 2024TutorI’ve seen an improvement using the iPhone 15 Pro Max but I still get some wifi drops and disconnections every 2-3 days and the only fix to reconnect is toggle wifi off for some seconds and back on. Kind of weird but overall works very good.
