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, ...

- Can it be that this wired coputer is the device which is occupying all the channels? :) Setting up all the sessions and not releasing them? This is just a theory but if you say that you disconnected the computer and the issue happened after restarting Orbi without this computer being connected to your system then this theory is not applicable here.
- Another question, does the issue only affect wireless devices attached to the Satellite or also those attached to the Router?
I have not tried restarting the orbi and leaving the computer unplugged so I could test that scenario. When I have unplugged the computer it was just briefly to see if it was interferring. I'm doubtfull that is the issue but I can certainly leave the wired computer unplugged and see (or connect via wifi instead of wired).
I believe the issue affects both the router and the satellite but I don't remember if I tested connected to the satellite specifically. I will test for that but I know it does affect the router for sure.
