RBK863 firmware update
I tryed updating to latest firmware soon as I did there was an instability with my download speeds went from 1Gb to about 5 to 10Mbps, I tryed resetting to factory setting and updating with the same ...
Interesting.
Keep us posted in next 3 days, if good, mark it solved.
Ya, I avoid using Chrome for any FW updating operations. I stick with MS Edge most of the time or Firefox for back up.
Was stable for a wile then went down hill again so befor reverting back to previous firmware I unplugged everything and only had my ONT and RBR switched on and done a soft restart with the same out come works fine for a while then bad again so I reverted back to previous firmware with just ONT and RBR and perfectly fine. I don't kno if it has any thing to do with the RBR863 I have where engineering samples but the firmware update befor this one updated perfectly.
Do you happen to have a GB Non managed switch you could put in between the ONT and the RBR?
I'm wondering if there maybe some new FW interoperability issue that maybe causing problems between the RBR and ONT on new FW...
Tried that via my 10gb managed switch doing it via PPPoE pass through with the same result, the only thing I could possibly try next is try with my isp provided router if I can find it. When I have it on the previous firmware and serch for updates it says there is non and that is why I have to do it manually and it does that via web Ui and the app.
No matter how I have it connected withe the latest firmware all the connections via ethernet fine 900+MBps down and up, but soon as I connect via WiFi to the RBR and the RBS via WiFi my download speed is 10Mbps and my upload is 800+MBps
