Waiting for the reaplcment to arrrive will keep us updated regarding this.
Another thing want to mention here, Same slow speed on WiFi is also occuring on my 4 year old Netgear router WNDR4500 v2 not really sure if this is a coincedene

It seems to me you might have some kind of interferance going on since two totally different Wi-Fi systems are having the same issue, hopefully your new unit will not experience it. I would advise you however to try using different broadcasting channels on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frecuencies, also look out for other devices on your network that might be causing interference or have their own created networks ie: Soundbars, DVRs, Microwaves etc, try shutting them off and see if the speed improves, you might need to restart your Orbi while the other devices are off when you try this
