Firmware upgrade capped satellite bandwidth at 50Mbps
Checked for firmware update via Orbi web interface, showed everything current. Visited Netgear CBK40 download page, showed new firmware for the RBS20 (two newer versions). Both updates related to se...
I would factory reset and setup from scratch then create a new backup config to file. Using older config files from older versions of FW could cause problems with new versions of FW.
I don't see where others are having same issue with latest version of FW for the CBK40. I could not reproduce this and I didn't use ANY backup config files. Still letting the system run this week to see if anything changes.
The backup that I used from earlier actually works - but at a reduced backhaul bandwidth. About half what I was getting a few days ago before the system dropped back to 50Mb/s.
There is a very simple setting that has changed that the UI can't address (I'm guessing here), or perhaps some vulnerability that people are trying to exploit that corrupts the router internals (since I don't have a direct reason for any manual changes made when the system failed).
You folk who believe hitting a loose screw with a hammer are part of the problem.
The Orbi is defective. It is that simple.
