Does 2.1.3.4 restrict Satellite performance?
I have been with Firmware 2.0.1.4 since purchase, happy with that, I am using wireless backhaul, speedtest result was about 620Mbps when MacBookPro connected to Satellite,. Upgraded to 2.1.3.4 2 ...
Possible you have a bad satellite going bad. IF you reboot the satelite after it's Poor condition and it comes back to Good then falls back to poor, I would look into replacing the Satellite.
Actually, I don't think that the satellite is bad. I had observed something similar, when I was on 2.1.2.18 and speedtests where only showing 50mbps instead of 100mps. I fixed that also with a reboot of either the satellite or the router - I can't remember exactly which one. So, this seems to be more of a software issue than a hardware issue.
And frankly, having monitored this forum for a couple of months now, I conclude that the Orbi HW is not the issue im general, as there are a lot of post of people having had their units replaced, but their problems persistet. This also indicates, that the Orbi HW is very good, but the FW still needs attention. And I know, that we concurr on the latter one. :smileywink:
