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...
One can use pingplotter to get a better idea of there system:

Needs to be ran with out the router in line, directly connected to the modem, then with the router inline with the modem.
- Hi, I searched for high latency problem för Orbi and found this thread. I have exactly the same problem as the original poster. I have RBK50 kit with 1 satellite. When running ping -t google.com on my 3 computers, the ping becomes lower and more stable when turning off the satellite. The ping when satellite is off is stable below 25ms but when the satellite is on the ping is about 40-50 and spikes to 300ms and even 3000+ms, resulting in lost packet. I have the latest firmware. Any ideas how to address this without turning off satellite?

What wired devices do you have connected to the Satellite? Any mesh speakers (e.g. Sonos)?
Please test by disconnecting all wired devices and see if things change.
What FW is currently loaded?
How is the satllite connected? Wired or wireless? Try both methods with the satellite.
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.
