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...
Mine has happened on every firmware version on both bands and my wired devices. The router reads 190mbps on the interface speed test (which I never do until the issue has already occurred) but the output to all devices drops down to between 10-60mbps and stays there
Same issue here. After latest firmware wireless speeds are very insistent. Anywhere from 100 to 600 Mbps down and a solid 40 Mbps up.
Have you rebooted the Orbi router and satellite after the FW update?
Manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.
Disable MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming.
How are you speed testing on a mobile device...speedtest.net app?
What freqency is the mobile devcie connecting too?
How far away are you from the router or satellite when speed testing?
Do speed testing from either router or satelite have different results?

- Yes, reboot helps for a few days.
I have already tried all your suggestions.
It only happens on the 2.4 GHz band when connected to the satellite. It does not matter how close or far away I am. 5Ghz and wired clients get full speed.Do speed testing from either router or satelite have different results?
Are there any wifi neghbors near by with 2.4Ghz radios? If so, how many are there?
