Solved - Orbi RBR20 Speed Drop
Had the same problem with many people here that RBR20 wifi transmission speed drops significantly even after reset to factory default setting. After many trial and error, found the culprit was changing SSID.
Last attempt I left the default SSID "ORBI72" after factory reset, and the speed was stable even after a few days. I haven't tried changing the SSID again to prove my theory as I don't wanna mess it up again.

Resets are a good thing and sometimes needed when problems are seen or as a last resort.
It's recommended to change the default SSID name to something different as well.Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
