Orbi speed test slower than actual connected devices
My rated ISP service is 250 Mbps down 10 Mbps up. When I run the speed test from QOS area in the Orbi log in I get 167 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up. However when I test a device connected to the ...
There are reports in the forum that the speedtest built into Orbi is not reliable. There's even a few reports that running the QoS speedtest has caused some units to become unstable, or slow down.
Is there any way to turn QOS off once on. If so its not obvious - at least to me?
Thanks
Do a factory reset and then don't configure QoS or run the speed test.

Really - thats the only way to turn off QOS?
While I can do that - not sure the local (family) online community will appreciate the downtime - local IT support (me) will get many calls and poor service ratings.
Seems a little silly that turning off QOS needs a factory reset.
Unless the QoS has an enable or disable feature, then factory reset maybe only way. Might be a telnet command, maybe however I don't know what that command would be. Factory reset and set up WiFi wouldn't take that long.
