ORBI Wifi Speed Drops
Hey Guys, So I have had my Orbi several months now. Every 3-4 weeks the wifi speed drops to below 30 mbs for download. However the speed test on the unit read 190 mps. The wired speeds also drop to e...
Ooops. This is the befoer reset.
Well, I rolled back to 2.0.0.76 and throughput was fine, then tonight out of nowhere the router rebooted and guess what? Back to 40 megabits per second max speed for all connected devices. Wired devices behind the orbi system (set up as ap mode) all pull full bandwidth.
I'm seriously considering throwing these things in the trash. After more than a year into firmware releases and still having these kinds of issues? Orbi, PM me with a solution. 2.1.12 firmware had the 40 mbps constantly.
I'm an IT professional so I can assure you that this isnt user error. Clearing nvram and factory resetting fixes the speed issue until it reboots itself again. I cant be doing this every time the router gets a reboot!
