Orbi RBK53 Router My download speed drops to less than 10% frequently and I have to reboot my router

I see some solutions that include factory reset. Very troublesome and inconvenient to have to set it up all over again and reconfigure everything. My speed drops from about 200 MPS to less than 10 MPS and unplugging the router and starting it up again corrects the problem. Why is this necessary? Also, I have fiber optics service, no modem, and the speed is fully present at the direct cable connection from my ISP.
