lower signal strength after update to V1.3.0.12

After I updated to the V1.3.0.12 firmware, my signal strength has degraded from what I presume is the router. I used to get full bars while on the floor where the router is located (and I'm usually around 15 feet from the the router through a wall - previously that area was full strength). However, downlaod speeds have not been affected. Now I get three and handoff between 2.4 and 5 seems a little more clunky. Any thoughts of causes/solutions? Thanks.

try factiry resetting the orbi system and re do the initial setup as this may fix the issue

Did the factory reset, results pretty much the same. Maybe the next firmware update will fix this.

Hello creaky 

 

We just released 1.3.0.26 try to upgrade to that and see if you are having the same issues.
