Orbi slow down issue in the last few weeks ~30 connected issues.

My router has been working perfectly well in the last few years (RBR20 + RBS20)

All of sudden in the last 2 weeks, I experience intermittent slow down issue with the internet. The website takes a few seconds longer to load. Skype call has the same issue.

Speed test is still extremely fast (~200MB/s) so I am totally puzzled why there is a delay in opening websites, etc.

After rebooting boot ISP modem, Orbi routers, changing some settings, updating the firmware, etc., I still have the same issue.

Today, I changed the Orbi to AP mode and use the ISP Modem Router function instead and the fast speed is back.

Not sure if anyone is experiencing the same issue in the last few weeks?

    Did you have the original modem in passthrough/modem only mode with the orbi connected in router mode?
