I am assuming it is in the settings but have not made any changes. Orbi router and satellites are upgraded to latest firmware 2.5.1.8 but this made no difference.
Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated
How long have you had your Orbi? Has it ever worked properly?
2.5.1.8 has some issues
We have had the Orbi about three years now, it seemed to work fine previously but to be honest, I never really checked the speeds until we upgraded our internet service with Spectrum. What I find odd is that the upload speed is faster than the download speed, it seems really strange to me
Thanks
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I have not done a factory reset since the firmware update, that was just done today. I have done a factory reset a couple of times previously when i first noticed the speed issues after upgrading our service.
