Every 2-3 days I lose 90% of my speed on devices connected to the satellite
I've had the the RBR50 for a little over a month. Every 2-3 days, I lose 90% of my speed on any device connected to the satellite. Making any change that reboots the network will speed things up agai...
I'll try to answer everyone's question at once.
My Orbi is connected to an Arris SURFboard SB6183.
The Orbi is running firmware V2.2.1.210.
I'm using 2.4 ch. 6 and 5.0 ch. 44. These were both previously set to auto, but the issue persists.
There are a ton of networks around me; I'm in a condo.
The main and satellite are probably 40 feet apart.
Again, the part that doen't make any sense is that, via ethernet, I can connect to the satellite at full speed...so I don't see how it could be any of the wireless settings. If my devices connect to the main wirelessly, they work fine.
I've made the changes you suggested, so we'll see how it goes...but I don't think it's going to work.

That might be a stretch in a noisy wifi environment.
Is the satellite at the far extreme of the property, or somewhere in the middle, between the extremities and the main router? The latter is better.
