Orbi Satellite Slowdown
I continue to have problems with one Orbi satellite that after two-three days of use slows it's throughput dramatically. I can normally connect and get a full 300 Mpbs connection via the satellite, ...
Won't be buying another one of these things. Reboot router fast WiFi for a couple of days ~200mbs then straight to ~40mbs, reboot rinse and repeat. Hardly what I would call a joyful experience. Wired connections maintain ~220mbs so looks like memory corruption or some other issue on the WiFi side of things. Netgear please look into this.
- Not to rub salt in your wounds, but I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one suffering from this problem.
I have been working directly with Netgear Engineering on this now for several months, but so far no luck in figuring out the problem and getting it resolved.
To add insult to injury, every few months the router will get confused and stop passing some traffic between WiFi and the hard-wired LAN. This gets really confusing when it occurs because some things behave normally and some on the hard-wired LAN don’t work, but some do. It might be related to DHCP and renewing the connection failing somehow, but a reboot of just the router gets things going again <SIGH>.
I wish someone else would come out with a nice tri-band system that was as fast as the Orbi’s are. Maybe one of the new WiFi 6 systems will be better.Hey bandito, please post here if you (or the support ppl) figured things out. I just spent the whole day trying to figure out what was wrong with my wifi (I was only getting 20Mbps on a 1Gbps connection). Unfortunatelly I've only found your post after I got to reset the sattelite. I like to find the root of the problems so reboots and resets are the last items on my troubleshooting lists (I know, I'm masochistic that way). Anyways, any update on this? Are the NG ppl still trying to find the issue?
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?Are you getting near 900Mbps on a wired PC connected to the RBR?
