Re: RBR40 slow wifi
Hello, an update.
Its seems to be better but yesterday my phone was getting 5 up and .2 down. I rebooted the Orbi and normal connection speeds returned. I have been thinking and it did seem to start happening around the time the salellites updated to firmware V2.5.0.4. I think maybe I should try rolling the version back. Agree? If so, can I get older versions of the firmware? The system was fine for a long time.

Maybe you need to upgrade the firmware. The latest showing for RBR40 and RBS40 are:

Re: RBR40 slow wifi
I already have 2.5.16 on my RBR40. My sats are RBW30, not RBS40. Im theorizing that firmware V2.5.0.4 on my RBW30s started all my problems.

Re: RBR40 slow wifi
I'm not sure. I didnt write down the version. I just updated when the UI say a new firmware is available.

Re: RBR40 slow wifi
You might try to roll them back to last version posted on NGs web site and see if anything changes. I would push the udpate thru the RBWs web page and then factory reset them and then re-add them.

Re: RBR40 slow wifi
They should have an associated IP address listed on the RBRs web page. Use this IP address in a web browser to access the RBWs web page.

Re: RBR40 slow wifi
This didnt work. The Sats just say the firmware failed to upload. Any other ideas?

Re: RBR40 slow wifi
Thanks for all your help. I just think I have an outdated system and Netgear hasnt fully tested their firmware updates with my system. Its odd, my iphone will get 10 down, .4 up, I wont move, reboot the Orbi via the app, once the phone reconnects, super fast. Wait a while, slow again. I disappointed in Netgear for pushing an update (only thing that changed), that I cant roll back and makes my wifi unstable.
I would call support, but looks like I have to pay. Hmmm

Re: RBR40 slow wifi
Can contact a forum moderator to see what your options are.
Seems like you should be able to downgrade the FW though...
