Orbi RBR50 / 2 RBS50 satellites - WiFI speed extremely slow

Try a factory reset on the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch. IF this still fails to correct your problem or maintain operation, try downgrading to v30.
Above suggestions working:

Moreover you ask to stay away from manual updates, then why does support pushes for manual updates.
Everytime i reboot the Router or even remove the internet cable from the router and insert it back, the wifi speed just reduces to half. Speed on LAN remains fine. And after factory reset it works... it is definitely firmware
As instructed, followed steps below:
1. Factory Reset for RBS and RBR - Speed went back to normal 300mbps for me both download and upload
2. Downgraded the firmware - Speed Status upload went down to 50mbps on wifi and 150mbps on LAN
3. Factory Reset again - Speed Status back to normal 300mbps for both download and upload.
Will continue monitoring on this version, fingers crossed!
