    Is that speeds test wired or wireless? Wired speed testing is preferred.

     

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

    It would help to have more detail about the situation.  For example:

     

    • Is this router administered with the Orbi 'app' or with a web browser?
      (the app provides almost zero help in diagnosing problems, whereas the web interface offers a lot more.)
    • How is speed being measured?
      • Using the router (or app) built in Speed Test function?
      • Using a Speed Test app on one of the wired or wireless devices?
    • What speed is being reported?
      (Hint: if the speed never reports higher than 90+ MB/s there is a good chance that the Ethernet cable connecting router to ISP device is at fault.)
