the firmware 2.2.1.212 prior to uploading the the new firmware. Did a full resedt and i too think my signal is less than prior. I need to do some some more analytics on this . My wife does a lot of zoom, and the drops keep locking her up. I have had 3 drops i know of since the firmware upgrade. I was asuured by a tech the firmware would cure the drops. Small home with 3 very expensive wifi, should be a breeze. Google wifi was better than the orbi. I am going to hardwire the wifes office, and if performance doesnt imporove scrapping an putting goole wifi back in. thanks for your efforts to help
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

- Done some project this weekend, trying to re install this business with latest FW.
After factory default and everyrhing, it is a while I get 60-70/110 upload.
Wifi
Download speeds are about 500Mb, lets say is normal. Wifi
I used to get 120M upload, which hard wired I do get
Disabled Daisy Chin because it says it is aimed to more than 1 sat. I have 1 only
Channels are as used to be (loaded a backup config file)
Btw, from a tiny test I have done my HARD WIRE issue downalod seem to be solved, but i want to take a while before decalring anything.
Anymore offers?- Hi guys!
Is it safe enough to manually update the firmware even if the auto update has not started yet?
ThanksYes,
Update the RBS's first, then the RBR. You'll need the v212 applied first to the RBR, then apply v32. Factory reset after v32 has been applied and setup from scratch.
