RBR50 slows to a crawl till I reboot
Firmware is current V2.7.4.24 In the last few days, I thought my internet provider was slowing down, but I have narrowed it to the RBR50 The problem clears after a reboot. What happens is ...
WOW, well thank you to all. I finally got it working but it was so weird how I did it.
I first had to go to manual update, then select a satellite (even though it said no updates were available) and then go back to Online update and login and upload the file and then run the firmware update. I had to do that for each satellite in turn and then the router .
Doesn't make sense but finally everything is up to date.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

What happens is that the unit slows to a crawl where it will take 30 seconds to a minute to respond to clicks on a browser. Loading new pages will take several minutes if at all. It seems to be happening after a day, because I notice it recurs about mid morning. A reboot will return my speed to 72mbps download. I have not had to do this before, except when I was having trouble with my ISP and had to refresh the connection.
It is like the router is clogged up and needs a flush.
Any ideas? A dying router?
the ISP is a RF receiver antenna and it has a power brick that goes directly to the LAN port on the Orbi. I have recently tested the Ethernet cables and they're good. Problem just started happening this week.
