rbr40 firmware update slowed down internet speed

I just upgraded to fw2.3.5.50 and my internet speed dropped from 266 to 34 and my upload speed dropped from 24 to 5.

I upgraded through the app and everything seemed to go fine. Speeds were tested wifi through my phone and hardwired through cat 5.

Re: rbr40 firmware update slowed down internet speed

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

 

I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute. Factory reset the Orbi router and power it off. Power ON the ISP modem and let it sync. Then power ON the Orbi router and walk thru the setup wizard again using a wired PC and a web browser.
