Orbi RBR20 slows wifi daily to 40mb/s.
I have an RBR20 and an RBR40. I have 2 plugin satelites and a wall satelite, RBS20 and RBW30 respectively. Originally I replaced my RBR20 with a new RBR40 I bought on ebay (I liked that it had 2 et...
I got 4 days from the last reboot before the slowdown to ~40Mbps happens - I set implicit beamforming. This time I turned off daisy chaining. We will see how long that lasts.
Something is causing this slowdown after multiple days. Once the slowdown happens it's stuck there until the next reboot. Sure looks like a firmware problem. Guess I'll have to get used to rebooting every few days.
Very disappointed in Netgear.
I put a timer on my router.. now the stupid thing has the power turned off every day around 2am and then comes back on 15 minutes later. Stupid fix, but it works better than anything I've been able to get from Netgear and their pathetic customer service! Hard reboot!
Well, it's a solution, and you're not impacted too much. We have the same issue, but my router goes days before it drops down to 45.
I think the timer is a good solution...so you plug it into a wi-fi socket and set an on/off schedule?

No, I got a physical outlet timer from Harbor Freight for $10 and make it turn off a 3:00am and back on at 3:02am. I figure I'll give it a couple of minutes down in case it needs a little time. I still can't believe no one (Netgear) hasn't been able to solve this problem.
