WiFi Slow after 2-3 days until reboot?
I'm really at my wits end fighting with this Orbi System. I've read all the relevant forum posts I could find and am still struggling. I have 200 Mb/s service from Xfinity. Orbi RBR50 is connecte...
Firmware - V2.3.5.30
Just an anecdotal observation. I have been struggling with the 'every 2 -3 day slowdown' for well over a year. I have done pretty much everything listed in this message list (74 and counting). The slow down only happens with my main router, not the satellite. I have multiple MACs in the same room as the main router. They were all ethernet connected. I noticed that they all had wifi turned on as well. Turned off wifi on all of them and I have now gone 2 weeks with no slow down. No idea why this has happened. I am loath to turn wifi back on to test if this is real or just a coincidence.
Interesting find. Ya Mac WiFi is on and looking for wifi to connet too. Sure is add that they are causing this kind of slow done on the RBR when they are not actually connected. Give the turning them back on a try at some point to see if the problem appears. If your Macs are wired most of the time, ya, disable the WiFi radios on them. Seem to cause some interference problems. I keep mine off when the wifi isn't needed.
Thanks for sharing.
