Re: Orbi WiFi speeds drop low until I reboot the router
Hi! I actually have the LBR20 with 2.6.5.32 firmware up and consider myself pretty techie and I ran into the issue above. After 2 days my internet would drop drastically from 180mbps to 2mbps. If you...
Hi! I'll check that. I do have some statics in the 30-40 range but my schedule starts at 50 -100. So in theory...shouldn't be any conflicts.
Dchp* autocorrect changed it to a "schedule " lol. :)
- Update: checked. No conflicting IP addresses. I also have not had the issue reoccur after removing my Fire Tablet from the network. I plan to reconnect my fire tablet to see if the issue comes back. I will let you know the outcome.
Update: Been running fine with the Amazon Fire tablet's wifi set to OFF.
tested Download speed 138.6 upload 12.2 latency 3ms
Connected Amazon Fire Tablet to Orbi. Downloaded latest Fire OS 7.3.2.2.
Speeds dropped. I can consistently reproduce this problem every time now. never fails...i connect the amazon tablet, i have to turn off the WIFI then restart the orbi to make it go back to normal.
My hypothesis....the Alexa Communication Service is conflicting with something in the Orbi and causing the issue. Im curious is anyone else is having the same issues i am seeing. If its the Alexa Communcation service...this could also effect people using the Alexa. ( i dont have an Alexa, so im not 100% sure on that one) But definitely an issue with the Fire HD tablet that I have.
