Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
its 400 down and 20 up and I have a call back setup for Wed night. To report again these issues.
At best you might see 400-500Mb on wireless. This also depends on your client HW and what they support for thruput speeds. Not all devices support high speed thruput. Ensure that your ethernet speeds are to spec which they should be. Wireless has many factors that contribut to inaccurate speed testing. Wired speed testing is preffered always.

- My wire i use is a cat6e which supports 10 gbps from orbi satellite to router and the wire from my modem to orbi is cat 7 ... keep in mind my speeds with same wires and wireless I was getting about 400-480 mbps with 2.0.1.7 but with these newer updates slower speeds. I tried last time using the beta firmware same issue then switched back to 2.0.1.7 speeds went back up.
Ok making sure. Give this info to NG support. Seems there is an issue in FW on your unit.
Keep us posted.
