I personally only loaded firmware in both the RBK852 and the RBS50s --- no factory reset.

Somenthing that i'm posting to let users know that NG now recommends using the default CTS value of 64 on Orbi AX. I was informed by NG that orbi AX that there are settings and or drivers in the FW that are effected by any CTS changes and they feel that 2347 may cause problems for some. I can attest to this as my 3rd gen NEST would not keep connected to Orbi AX if I set the CTS value to 2347 which does work on other AC model routers. After changing back to 64, the NEST has been connected with out any problems. Over all my Orbi AX on v32 has been up and online and stable with the default CTS value. So seems the Orbi AX maybe different from all the others in regards to CTS value and usage so even though 2347 works for most other system, Orbi AX seems to be the odd one out for this setting. I recommend that users first try the default CTS value. If you run into problems first try a factory reset if one hasn't been performed. You can try 2347 and use it if seems to help. Though I would suggest that users having problems with CTS value of 64 please report your problem to NG and let them know so they can review and make changes if they can. Hope this helps.

Ya I know 2347 works fine on my RBK50 as well. Zero issues with Orbi AC. Not sure why Orbi AX is so different. NG says there are complex settings in the FW that are intricate. They recommended using the default 64. So far with my 1st and 3rd gen NESTs, they are stable, online and no battery drain while using CTS 64 and 20/40Mhz channel width. Though I see others are still seeing problems with battery drain. :smileyfrustrated: Still wonder if part of this is a NEST issue as well. Ya, been fighting with this for a while now. Had a bug report with NG that we just closed yesterday.

Kewl. Nat Filter for gamers is fixed in this version. Should be at least.

For those that have RBS-50's hard wired to their AX systems -- there is also a corresponding upgrade to the RBS50 firmware found at: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50.aspx#download These potential updates are NOT announced by RBR-850 so you have to get them manually RBR850, RBS850 and RBR50s took this upgrade very well (albeit manually installed) and are running smooth.
