High Latency with Orbi Router RBR50
I have an Orbi RBR50 and it's performance wildly varies, I normally get 130 down and 15 up, but my latency is always 100+ when I use the google speed test. In games though it's usually around 40-50 m...
Try difference speed test sites besides google. Try Ookla's and DSLreports and your ISPs speed test site if they have one.
Always speed test wired connections with the router directly.
Disable any PC security software and browser add-ons temporarily while testing.
Try different browsers.
Whats the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too?
The problem with those tests is that they don't give you the complete picture. The latency number they give you is the total end-to-end latency. There could be literally donzens of router hops between you and the destination - the first of which being the Orbi - and any one (or more) of them could be causing the large latency. Only something like 'mtr' or 'traceroute' is going to help you figure out where exactly it's coming from. Without that info, all you can do is guess. And if you jump through hoops trying to tune the Orbi, when the problem is really with your ISP (or elsewhere), you're simly wasting your time.
