Rbr50 firmware
I have an rbr50 firmware version 2.7.5.4. I had assumed, as it was out of service, there wouldn't be any more updates. Today the rbr50/rbs50 both say that 2.7.5.6 is available. Does anyone know anythi...
Hi, I just got this firmware update 2.7.5.6 on my RBR10. I was happy to see an update as our connection has been a bit spotty. However we were getting close on 600 mbs from Spectrum and since I did this update Speeds are down to 200-250 so I’m a little disappointed about this and hoping the payoff is I get a stable connection
I am also on Spectrum and find that v2.7.5.6 reports essentially the same speed as I had before. Ookla Speed test is really sensitive to the specific server being accessed (and it is really annoying that the web interface does not report which Ookla server was used). A Windows 11 PC connected to the RBR50 with Ethernet also reports about the same speed.
It might be interesting to repeat the Speed Test (either on the router or a computer wired to the router). Spectrum is also sensitive to load. When all the customers are home streaming video, a Speed Test might be lower than usual.
