RBK50 drops to 30Mbps every couple of hours, must reboot to fix
Just installed RBK50 Orbi Triband Mesh AC3000 system and after a few hours, the speeds drop to below 50 Mbps and the only thing I can do to fix is reboot. I've now rebooted my system 5 times in 24 h...

I've now rebooted my system 5 times in 24 hours. I'm running the latest firmware 2.5.1.8 and Netgear support had me set the MTU to 1492. It was set at 1500. Right after a reboot and for a few hours after I can get close to 600Mbps on my phone (Galaxy S10). Then it drops back down below 50Mbps after 2-3 hours. Anyone see this before and have a fix? Not sure what's happening to make it suddenly lose speed like that. Thanks in advance.
I'm going to bet the FW 2.5.1.8 is your problem. When/how did you get it?
It updated automatically when I installed the system yesterday.

I should add that I'm running a brand new CM1150V modem.
I've see discussions about your modem.
