RBR50 slow wifi connection speed

I've got a CM1000 modem connected to my RBR50 Orbi and I am having very slow wifi connection speeds. I'm getting about 1/3 of my actual download speeds and my laptop devices do not seem to want to connect to 5Ghz band. I'm not sure what to do to right this issue I'm having.

    Hello joeschmo90

     

    Have you tried to adjust the wireless channels of the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks?

      Thank you for your response Darren.

       

      Ive changed the wifi channels multiple times after scanning to see which was least populated.  I have also done a factory reset as well.  

       

      After browsing around a little could this be attributed to the firmware update?

        Have you tried to enable beamforming and mumimo?
