Just download the file from NG support site for your model Orbi. Just the router only.
I would disconnect ALL devices accept for 1 wired PC. Then using IE11 or FF, send the FW file using the routers web page.
After it applies, do a factory reset and then set up the router from scratch and configure it. Run a quick ethernet connected test with the PC to check speeds.

So Thursday....I did note today that there is an even newer firmware V2.2.1.210 availble today and instead of downgrading I upgraded. When measureing the speed after successful it was more or less the same as before 280Mbts compared to the 600 delivered from the ISV and router. This makes me think that it more or less is what it is and the question is if it really can be HW fault, eg would it become better if I do a SWAP.......
