Orbi drop my PC wifi connection link rate to 6Mbps periodically

I have been using my ORBI CRB750 router and one satellite for a year, however my PC wifi connection link rate drops to 6Mbps periodically at recent days.

 

I have to disconnect my PC wifi and forget this device in my ORBI router app and then reconnect, issue resolved everytime.

 

I am doing online gaming and this link rate droping is really annoying, any solutions?

 

 

 

 

 

Model version: CRB750

Firmware Version V4.6.5.8 (up to date)

    when its dropping, are you connected to 2.4ghz or 5ghz?

    If you're on windows, a lot of wifi cards have an option to either prefer 5ghz or only use 5ghz (in the device manager)

    Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi With Cable Modem products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi with cable modem and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
