RBR40 Slow Ethernet Connection
I have been having this issue for a few months now, before it was working totally fine and I had not changed anything. It seems like every device plugged into ethernet of the router gets capped at ~8...

That sounds like full duplex auto-negotiation has failed between Orbi and your PC. If your PC is awake, it shouldn't say 100M/Full if auto-negotiation works correctly. It could be that the cable has gone bad. Otherwise, you can try to change the PC NIC setting to force it do to 1000M/Full. If you have a Gigabit switch in between, that will tell you for sure where the issue lies.
TG360, it sounds as if the WAN port has correct link speed (1000M/Full), but the LAN ports are not (100M/Full).
To check link speed, point your browser at (replace 192.168.1.1 with your Orbi IP address):
If LAN port says 100M/Full, disconnect all cables from LAN ports, stick a paper clip in the back of Orbi until LED blinks amber. If reset still doesn't fix it, find a Gigabit switch and put it in between Orbi and clients to see if that will make a difference.
Shows WAN 1000M/Full
LAN 1 1000M/Full
LAN 2 100M/Full
and LAN 3 100M/Full.
Think I will give a 30/30/30 reset a shot, and yeah I will disconnect the LAN ports while doing it.
TG360, LAN port 1 link speed is correct. Might want to replace cables for those clients connected to LAN port 2 and 3. If 30-30-30 still fails, plug 4-port Gigabit switch into LAN port 1 and you should be good to go.
