Orbi WiFi speeds drop low until I reboot the router
Dear All, I have the following Orbi mesh router with 2 satellites running the latest firmware v.2.7.3.22: Netgear Orbi Mesh Router RBK53S-100NAS (router + 2 satellites) Router Product Model: RBR50...
Thanks. I had already tried all the settings you suggested.
Only item I have not tried is the hardware factory reset. Will that soon when I have several hours to dedicate to this as it is going to take a while to complete.
This has already been discussed on other threads. Forget all the silly questions about channel, house sq. ft. and resetting. That will NOT fix it.
I ran into this same issue. I found that a NETGEAR WiFi dongle connected to my Dish satellite receiver caused the problem. I went into the dongle WiFi configuration in the receiver and removed and re-connected to the WiFi network name, rebooted the router, and now the speed is stable.
Another user had the issue and found that his smart TV was the cause.
You may have to disconnect/reconfigure/reboot all your wireless devices to isolate and see if one is causing the issue.
Good luck.
