Need Help
A while back I purchased an Orbi system. The RBK50 [RBR50 with 1 satellite] and a NETGEAR CM700 Cable Modem.
Ever since the begging of using these products I get a lot of inconsistent speed...

Do you have your old prior router by chance? Something to try as a quick test. Take the Orbi off line and put the old one online and check the consoles.
However if you tested one console directly at the modem and still get Strict NAT, something is wrong at the ISP service, modem or xbox.

Hey, I've been keeping an eye on it for the past couple days and what I've obsurved is most of the time the morning up until 3pm my connetion is almost flawless, a fairly consistent 15 ping/ms in most matches at around 40mb/s download. But it seems around 3pm I noticed it change instintly back to frequent lag spikes where it goes from 50 ping/ms and 30mb/s download to as bad as 150-200 ping/ms at 8mb/s back and forth (almost unplayable on Xbox and where it sometimes lags me out of matches).
Do you think the ISP service isn't strong enough?

Something to contact the ISP about and let them know that all is good up to around 3PM. They should be able to see changes on there side during this time frame...
