Orbi WiFi Speed
Hello, I had new internet service installed today (300 Down / 20 Up). Speed tests from the Orbi app and hardwired to the router show great speeds. However, when I run any kind of speed test when connected to WiFi, the best download speed I can get is 13MB. This is from broth iPhones and laptops. Both Beamforming and Mu-MIMO are enabled. Not sure if there is a problem with a setting or if this is related to a firmware issue. Current firmware is 2.1.2.18. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, BenPS4 Pro Wont Connect to the 5GHz Signal
So I just recently purchased the Orbi RBK40 router and I noticed you cannot separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi signals through normal methods. I was told that the router has a system or program that automatically pushes the best connection possible. All the devices that support a 5GHz connection seem to connect just fine. However, there are two PS4 Pros in the house and the router refuse to connect it to the 5GHz conncetion. Under my network settings on both PS4 Pro say they are on a 2.4 GHz conncetion. Even under the router GUI it says that it's connected to the 2.4 GHz conncetion. I've been trying to look up methods on how to connect it mannually but no luck. I found a post that teaches how to separate the SSIDs for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz and it worked, however the devices that were connceting to the 5GHz were experincing lag issues and would not have a consistent download rate. I usually average between 145-150 Mbps download when I don't split the SSIDs. However, when they are separate SSIDs, the download ranges from 6-130 Mbps and is never consistent. Not to mention, when the SSIDs are split, the PS4s seems to disconnect from the router frequently. Long story short, is there a way to connect the PS4 Pro to the 5GHz connection?Firmware v3.01.14 for N450 CG3000Dv2
My currently installed firmware (Comcast ISP) is 3.01.6 and the Netgear support page lists 3.01.14 as the current release. However when I go to the product's Download Firmware and Documentation support page, the only things available for download are Genie apps. Where can I find this firmware release and is there another way to update the Modem/Gateway besides a PC-connected upload?
