Is anyone else having issues with Skype, Teams, Zoom, etc. running very poorly with the Orbi Mesh Routers? With the stay-at-home measures over the last month, I've noticed frequent issues with poor bandwidth, pixelation, garbled voices, etc.

 

I realize there are about 1,000 different troubleshooting issues, and I won't detail everything I've done. But suffice it to say, I don't have speed issues with any other apps, I have a 100 Mbps+ connection to Comcast, and the quality of my line (jitter, SNR, etc.) is fine. I've also tried the Port Triggering options for these services to no avail.

 

I'm happy to entertain suggestions for troubleshooting, but mostly I'm looking to see if issues with Skype, etc. are a known issue with the current firmware (2.5.1.8). I've tried downgrading to an earlier firmware and re-upgrading, and that hasn't really fixed anything.

I don't think it's unique to any particular piece of software.  Numerous complaints about (2.5.1.8).

Revert back to the one that was most stable for you....or.....standby for dozens of useless questions that will only waste your time.
