I have been tracking an odd experience with the router: my download speeds seem to degrade over time. I don't mean the speed of an individual download. I mean that Monday I will get 400Mb download rating from Spectrum.net (my provider). Tuesday I'll get 300Mb. Weds I'll get 200Mb. So, over the course of a week or more, the spectrum download rating goes down and stays down. It gets as low as 40Mb.
I have a distinct memory of seeing posts very similar to this in the past, but cannot remember if any of them were actually resolved.
So far, my attempts to find these posts by searching the forum (upper left of the page) have not been successful. Have to remember exactly which words were in the post, but cannot.
Many consumer electronics have a setting to reboot once a week (my security cameras do. Orbi does not..)
My pathetic 200mb Spectrum feed never changes. I pay for 200mb and routinely get 230mb, day after day after day.
Hard to propose a solution when the problem cannot be reproduced.
