18 month old RBK23 was fine, now slow internet
This router was workng great from when I purchased it June 2020 until now. Nothing changed but the speed. I had the internet company here to check their equipment and their router work at my purchase...

I updated the main router and not the satellites, Do I need to update them as well before checking the speed?

As in
- The process did not complete, or
- The router immediately auto-updated itself back to V2.7.3.22?
There is no need to update the satellites before checking speed.

The update to previous firmware worked but it did not increase my speeds.

Some users have found 'vampire devices' on their network consuming tremendous amounts of bandwidth. One of the features that is missing on the Orbi platform is a summary of traffic by device. It has been requested dozens of times over the years. There are routers from other vendors that have this capability, but not our Orbi.
