fluctuating speeds and connectivity
a few weeks ago, my routers did an auto update to version 2.7.3.22. Ever since, my speeds have been all over the place. 780-940+, with sudden drops down into the 200's. My streaming tv is almost u...
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update?
try a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute. Factory reset the Orbi router and power it off. Power ON the ISP modem and let it sync. Then power ON the Orbi router and walk thru the setup wizard again using a wired PC and a web browser.
Mine has been stable since the update:
Mine was factory reset and setup from scratch...
Thanks! Will try that when I get some time on Thursday. Do you think I would need to factory reset my satellite too?
You can while your at it.
So I did the factory reset, set everything back up. But still have major fluctuations on speed. I am paying for 1,000mbps speeds. My speeds seem to hover 350 up and @690 down, with spikes that bring the speeds upto 900, and as low as 80's on both up and download. My streaming tv service tells me all I need is 10mbps for seemless streaming, but I have constant buffering issues.
Any other recommendations??
Are initial speeds tests with a wired PC thru the RBR?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
How are you speed testing? Web based speed test or Ooklas installable speed test app?
