ORBI CBR40 slow device speeds when not shown as connected device
Orbi CBR40, v2.3.5.12__1.0.8
Hello!
When a particular computer connects to the Orbi, it shows up as a connected device with proper speeds (320mbps). But soon after, the computer is lost as a connected device, speed degrades to 15mbps (and it is still connected / online).
Any help is great. Please see video and note the IP address of the computer doesn't show as a connected device.
The Orbi is line of sight and25 feet from the computer.
In the video, you can actually see it lose speed during the speedtest.

Please post about this over in the Orbi with built in cable modem forum:

Thank you.
Given that this question doesn't concern the cable portion of the modem, this forum is appropriate.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
Do you have a RBS connected as well?Is the PC wired or wireless connected to the CBR?
