Arris SB6190.
What are your wired PC test speeds?
Basicly the same.
House about 2200 Square Feet.
70 feet separation between satellite and router

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.
