Update - Speed Throttling appears fixed by 2nd Reset
I previously had problems with speed being throttled by the Orbi RBR50 router. Router was throttling the speed from 200 Mbps to between 39-100 Mbps with most speeds at about 75. Background info per ...
6 weeks up and still maintaining normal speeds after the second factory reset. All good.
However, I am noticing something that might give a hint to these sort of problems. Our home network will not be exercising full capacity of 200Mbps down. Typically a maximum of two video strteams (one of which is SD) at any given time.
When I do regular (daily) speed tests, the results are now returning the maximum result (200Mbps down). However, a speed test after a lull preriod of no testing (typically 4-5 days) results in the initial test returning lower values. Tonight after five days of not testing it was 80% on the initial run (160Mbps). However a second, immediate, test gets expected results with maximum pland speeds.
It's almost like the Orbi Router is loosing some setting gradually over time and if I don't frequently exercise it to full capacity (via a speed test) then it 'forgets'. Just a hunch based on results, to-date, over the last 6 weeks. Thoughts?
