Netgear throttling internet
Netgear throttling internet
I have a netgear orbi DIRECT connected to my pc with ethernet, everything was amazing until about 4 months ago. Now I can't even open chrome without is loading for 2 minutes, all online games are unplayable, and I went from 100+ mbps download to barely 12. Truly awful and would never recommend to anyone, I spent too much money on this router and satellite for them to throttle my entire house.
(Also its not just me, all phones In the house run faster on data then the wifi that constantly drops, and it's not just my pc because my brother's pc is having the same issues.)

What actual orbi model do you have?
What firmware is on it and the satellites?
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
What speed do you get direct from the router hardwired?
