New Firmware 2.3.5.30

Just updated my Orbi to 2.3.5.30. Seems stable so far. I see few "ads" for the Orbi app and links for app download in the web GUI. Otherwise I could not see much more new things. I'm keeping to loo...

Same issue as with every update. The update went fine, yet the speed was capped at 100mbps (i have 1gbps fiber). A factory reset and setup from scratch solved it.

Also additional question, does the "Speed Test" now change anything on the QOS side of things, or it trully is just a speed test?

Monti9901 The Speed Test has always been just a speed test and had nothing to do with QoS although it was located under QoS in the web GUI.

  Hm, with QoS enabled, the new throughput data will be applied to the QoS configuration, isn't it?

    I did not see that the speed test did any effect on the QoS configuration. Have you?
    I think that this is why Netgear has now decided to just call it Speed Test in the web GUI, since it has nothing to do with QoS!
