Orbi RBK50 firmware V2.2.1.210 update slows WAN speed with 30 to 40%

Firmware V2.2.1.210 slows down my internet speed with 30 to 40%. After bringing it back to V2.1.4.16 the speed is back to normal. No upgrade here!

Thanks again everyone.  It was a bit stressful last night as it went real bonkers about 2 hours before I was to join a launch call for work.  I got a work around working last night.

 

The solution above is interesting as I don't like anything that forces auto updates.  Just for the reason I experinaced last night.  I'd also like a way to have the re-authentication in the admin tool pop so much.  It seems to pop after only 30 seconds of inactivity.  Given the length and complexity of my admin passowrd, I prefer typing it as little as possible once in the tool.

Might try this if you choose to go back to v210:

Keep in mind, If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.
