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...
I had the same problem, but it's now fixed. Wired speed from router to ISP over 200 Mnps, same on wifi for router and satellites. After 2-3 days, wifi when connected to router dropped to 40, but both wifi through satellites and wired from router to ISP remained over 200. So, it was solely a problem with connecting by wifi to router itself.
My problem was LG smart TV. I erased wifi internet connection from TV setup. After resetting router, the wifi speeds haven't dropped in over 3 weeks. Before, it routinely dropped every 2-3 days.
Go through everything connected to the router itself, disable one at a time, reset and wait to see what fixes it.
My setup:
Firmware 2.5.1.8
RBR50, RBS50 x2 - no daisy chain
Armor Bitdefender active

Good observation Geddy007. I think I've seen similar behaviour in my Orbi previously. What is special with this TV? Does it also have a wired connection to the network? Was it attached with Orbi previously as wired? Does the TV also act as an AP? Please look where this TV can cause loops in the network by having two different interfaces.
- TV was never wired - always wifi. It's not an AP that I know of. I never really even used the wifi connection, since all my entertainment comes through FireTV stick. The TV wifi connection was only used for the TV to get software updates for itself, which I don't really need. Now, if I want to check for a TV software update, I can manually connect to check and then erase wifi settings again.
