after updating the firmware i still experience the same issue but now with packet loss although the ping spikes are not that high the packet loss is a big problem now
Have you check for PL with a ethernet connected pc connected directly behind the ISP modem using pingplotter dot com app with out the RBR in the middle?
Try testing with a 2nd PC to compare results.
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update? Be sure to restart your network in this sequence: Turn off and unplug modem. Turn off router and computers. Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect. Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect. Turn on computers and rest of network.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200. https://kb.netgear.com/24089/How-do-I-specify-the-pool-of-IP-addresses-assigned-by-my-Nighthawk-rout...
I understand that you are currently having ping spikes on your RBS50v2. In addition to @FURRYe38 recommendation, please try using the following DNS for your IPV4 DNS settings: (Primary) 8.8.8.8, secondary (8.8.4.4).
A ping time of 60ms does not seem unreasonable. I just pinged ford.com and got:

(That screen shot is not easy to read with the white characters on a light blue background.)
If the game is using UDP to reduce overhead, there is bound to be some packet loss. I have no understanding of what gamers expect in terms of packet loss.
Since this happens only when the game is played from a computer connected to the satellite, it has to be the WiFi backhaul link, and there is nothing the user can do to change it. The channel is set by Netgear. (157 in NA, 108 elsewhere)
i am plugged directly into my router right now i am no longer experiencing ping spikes just packet loss could the packet loss be caused by my ethernet cables? i have a cat 6 going from modem to router and a cat 5 going from router to this pc
nevermind both cords are cat 5 e but i am still experiencing the packet loss connected to my router why when i am connected to my satellite i get ping spikes?
i factory reset it but i used my phone so this is where we are now massive ping spikes still with the packet loss i did not start experiencing packet loss until i installed ping plotter again so im going to uninstall it to see if anything changes
i have changed no settings where do i go from here?
at this time i have now given up all hope that these routers will ever work again and they lasted only a year i would not recommend one because of the last 3 months of jumping through loopholes trying to fix it when there is no solution i have seen many other people with this complaint and i have seen no fix netgear should really take a look into this as it is a widespread issue with the orbis.
well i had my isp come out and they found there was a broken line at the street and they replaced it and replaced my modem and that did not solve my issue so in is most definitely the orbis
