RBK753 firmware update/ backhaul

Updated to the new firmware V3.2.16.22 and seems to be working fine. Backhaul connection between Router and satellites still at 1200 Mbps and not 2400Mbps as per specs.

Per the Netgear website:
AX4200 Tri-Band WiFi : 2.4GHz (600Mbps) + 5GHz (1200Mbps) for WiFi devices to connect to the Internet. 5GHz (2400Mbps) dedicated WiFi link for faster data connections between Orbi Router and Orbi Satellite.

I noticed the same thing. However the backhaul is 2400Mbps, (shows when telnet into device) even though the firmware reports 1200Mbps.

After updating the firmware, the GUI appears faster loading, gave me better throughput, and shows no issues, except no GUI fixes. Added to the backhaul, several devices get stuck on a certain icon and will not change. This mostly happens to cameras of many models.
