Internet Connection Speeds Slow/Degrade Over Time

I recently noticed that my Internet download speeds had slowed down dramatically, from a normal 85 Mbits/sec down to about 2 Mbits/second, so I did some troubleshooting to see what I could find.   ...

Hello Bandito 

 

This shouldnt be happening I do reboot my modem once a month because I have seen these issues. How often does this happen?

    This is the first time that I've encountered this particular issue with the Orbi system, so once in about three months.  I'll definitely keep a closer eye on it for the next few months.

     

    I would really like to think of the Orbi system as an appliance that just quietly goes about its duties in the background with no muss nor fuss.  Hopefully, that will be the case.

     

    Thanks for getting back to me!
