Setup is Motorola ARRIS cable modem (SB6183) and Orbi router with 1 satellite. Pretty basic.
Was it ever working ok?
firmware?
Yeah, it works. Just lags here and there so I started checking the numbers and noticed the difference. I did confirm today that the firmware is up to date.
Also, the connection is wireless from the router to the satellite but wired from the satellite to the FireCube. Thought that might help with stability.

Update?....what number?
Number? If you mean firmware I'm on 2.3.5.30.

Yes....there were problems with 2.3.5.30, but I believe they worked them out.
You might try something other than the Orbi app for speed test. The app has reported problems as well.
Speed is a strange animal. For me I don't get too worked up unless I see a lot of buffering.
If I can hit a webiste in a reasonable amount of time or stream a movie, all is fine with me.
