Orbi RBR50 slowing speeds down
I am using a Orbi RBR50 Router with Comcast internet and every day or so it speed will drop to 40 to 50 MB download. I will reboot the router and my speed will increase back to the 175 MB range whic...
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What are your wired PC test speeds?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What WPA security modes are you using?
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.

I will reboot the router and my speed will increase back to the 175 MB range which I have. I have also restarted the Modem but that has no affect. It is only when I reboot the router does my internet speed goes to normal.
I am using V2.2.1.210 firmware.
Is anyone else haing this problem? Is there a fix?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Arris SB6190.
What are your wired PC test speeds?
Basicly the same.
House about 2200 Square Feet.
70 feet separation between satellite and router
What channels are you using?
Auto
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by?
Yes
If so, how many? 18 or more
What WPA security modes are you using? WPA2-PSK
When the problem arises all devices slow down going to the internet. If I am streaming a movie from my computer over WIFI there does not seem to be a problem. Only to the internet.
Thanks

Be aware of this about your modem:

Try placeing the satellite a bit closer, 70feet maybe too far. Mines at 40 feet.
What channels are you using?
Auto
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

Yes

What channels are they using? You maybe getting some interferences and wifi congestion from neighbors wifi systems.
What WPA security modes are you using? WPA2-PSK

Any update or progress on this?

I am having the same issue and according to support they cannot find a reason or a fix for this issue. I have to reboot everyday to get my speed back.

What wired devices do you have connected to Orbi? Any wired mesh speakers? Do you use any IPTV box using muticastiing?
Do you use wired or wireless backhaul?
