Firmware Update Instructions:

Netgear has posted the file since I checked earlier today.
It is rare for new firmware to land on the update server before the support pages, but it has happened in the past.

Oh dear. Someone at Netgear needs to dig out their spiel chequer.
Ya I've seen FW upate notifications prior to hitting the on site web pages before. Specially for Orbi systems.
Nah, thats how it's spelt nowadays. LOL.
Ok so loaded my R7800 today to v84. Up from v60 which I had loaded as I was troubleshooting Bridge mode, found the problem there.
I did a full on factory reset and setup from scratch.

R7800 Wireless Bridge mode speed results connected to a Orbi AX 853 system in AP Mode:
Im leaving mine in Bridge mode so I can test this out with a different router. Will be connecting my xbox to the R7800. :smileywink:
Over all, there seems to be hope with v84.
Anyone else? Please post your experiences.
