RBR20 download speed tests vary dramatically

I use the Orbi Speedtest regularly on my iphone to test my internet speeds and it has displayed consistent download speeds of 220 mb and upload speeds of 11mb for months; however, after the recent firmware upgrade to V2.6.2.104 when I do a Orbi Speedtest the download speeds state 45mb, when I retest a minute later it goes to 220 mb, when i test again it goes to 42mb, .when i test again it goes to 43mb....I am confused as to why this happening. 

 

When I checked my pc interent speed by directly connecting the ethernet cable from the modem to the pc it displayes consistent download speeds of 220 mb and upload speeds of 11mb; the only thing that has changed is the firmware upgrade of my RBR20....is there a bug a firmware  V2.6.2.104 bug that I am not aware of?

    You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)

    Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
