What equipment did your ISP provide? Hub 3.0
What is the current firmware on your Orbi device? V2.5.1.16
What device is your Orbi router connected to? hub 3.0 virgin media
Have you changed the network cable connected from the ISP device to your Orbi router? its 1000mbps cat 6
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi. Done
What type of cable is connected to your ISP modem/router? cat 6
Wrong size cable can cause slow speed.
Example: Cat 5 will give you 10/100 Mbps
Are you running the Orbi rouiter in AP mode or Router mode?
If you have not done so, it's better to switch the hub into modem-only mode and set the Orbi to router mode? You should get a faster connection that way.
Ive set Virgin media into Modem mode and Orbi is the router mode from the date of purchase. Its been working fine for first 2-3 years since updates have come my connections been playing up more often now.
Has a full power OFF on the ISP modem and RBR for 1 minute then back on performed yet?
Try a factory reset as well if the power cycle doesn't seem to change anything.
