Orbi RB50 periodic slow internet speeds since 2.0.0.74 - fine after reboot

Since the update to 2.0.0.74, periodically my Internet speed will slow down from the normal 65+Mbps to around 8Mbps and occasionally as slow as 1Mbps (as per speedtest.net), and I'll see ping latency...

I would make sure the router and sats are all on the same firmware revision.  Then I'd try a factory reset of the router.

    I'll give this a shot. If I backup & restore, will that restore potentially cause whatever issues I'm having now to return?

      I can't say for sure, but I would setup from scratch if it's not too much trouble. You can always make a backup and only use it if necessary.

        I am having this same exact issue. A reboot fixes the issue for a little bit but it comes back.
