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...
Unfortunately, after the reset to factory default (from the Backup Settings tab) and reloading the saved config, there was no change in behavior. I then did a reset again and this time rebuilt the configuration from scratch. That didn't help either. Within 24 hours (could have been less, I wasn't constantly checking) it had reverted back down to the slow speeds again.
What do I do now? Is there another way to some kind of lower-level reset that might help?
Is there any chance this could be related to the latest firmware upgrade, since I'm pretty sure that's when I started seeing this issue. Is there a way for me to revert back? This is getting pretty annoying.
