Slow speed post firmware v4.3
Hi. Just upgraded firmware on the rbk752 to the v4.3. It slowed down my connection. Prior firmware much faster. Question. Is WMM changed with firmware change? Thanks. Wifiblues.

Having the same problem with slow speeds since the recent firmware update and I’m now unable to connect to the router through the app.
- wifibluesJul 31, 2021LuminaryI sent a note to netgear help. Thinking of a factory reset. Hope that brings the speed back.

Questions about the R7900P are best dealt with in the appropriate section:

Feed in your model number. That page will have links to firmware.
Check the release notes for the latest firmware to see what has changed.Be warned, those notes can be skimpy. They will not reveal details of any security updates that they set out to fix.
