Slow ethernet and wifi satellite speeds

Did you downgrade the CBR FW or the RBS FW?

Blanca_O can you please help me out with this issue as well, I am running the CBR40 and three RBS20's. The issue lays at the satelites being very slow like 20-30 mbs on the current firware, when I down grade to 2.1.4.x it runs much better

Let us know how it goes...

Thankyou!

Install first version of the RBS FW on the RBS first:

Then do same thing to the CBR40:

Hi,

   I also just ordered a used RBS20 satellight. Not that tech savy... Could you please list the steps I could take to roll back the firmware to get back those speeds?

FYI, I was curious where the problem appeared. Seems to be on 2.2.1.210 as I reverted my CBR40 an RBS20 back to v210 today. Factory reset both CBR and RBS. Still same 50Mbps on the down with a wired PC connected to the back of the RBS20. 

I reverted back to v2.1.4.6 on the CBR40 and v2.1.4.16 on the RBS20. Powered OFF both units for 30 seconds then back ON. 

Look what the results were:

Seems that something broke in FW after v2.1.4.x

Has anyone attempted to revert back to older FW on the CBR or RBS or both to see if the speed performance returns? 

Nope

You'll need to contact NG support or the forum moderator about this:

Ha!  I'm in the same boat.  Still using the Orbi Modem/Router.  Very frustrating.

I have just resurfaced my old Linksys Velop, and it works like a charm. Will probably give up on Netgear as well, except I actually bought the Modem/Router combo, so, 400usd for a modem, to connect my Linksys Velop to... doesn't get any more frustrating than this.
