My Orbi RBK53 start getting very bad pings and slow speed
Till yesterday my Orbi was working great (two months in a row), but for no reason I have started to get pings above 600ms (before 3ms) and internet speed 80% slower than before. This happens usin...
I contacted my ISP, they run some test and finally the problem was related to the cloud back up service that was draining all my bandwith (150 down 15 up). I hired Backblaze service the very same moment that the problem started. I reduced the bandwith that I allow the Backblaze to use, and everything went back normal.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too?
Any wifi nieghbors near by? if so, how many?
What wireless device are you testing with? Try a different wireless device to speed test with?
Besure that all other devices and network streaming and traffic is disabled while testing pings and speed. Test with wired PC first.
I owed you the answer to the first part (not @ home now), but it is not a wifi issue. I have a MBP early 2013 connected through Ethernet to the Orbi Router with the same problem.
Thanks!!!
