Orbi RBK 853 speed test not working
Speed test is no longer working. States connection failure. I have rebooted and uninstalled and re-installed my APP. No luck. It was as working when I first got my mesh in June and now that my free Ne...
- Sep 25, 2020I was finally able to speak to a Netgear support rep, Rose. The delay was from my end, not theirs. She performed a factory reset remotely on my router, and I went through the steps to set up a new router. The reset was initiated from within the router web page (I don’t know exactly where on the page the reset was accessible since I was not doing it, but to be clear, it was not via the app). After the router had restarted and I finished the installation process, the SpeedTest via the app worked. Considering that the app worked for me previously and then stopped, much like what has happened to others, I’m cautiously optimistic that this is a permanent fix. But I have to say that Rose was great and I’m back in business.

I have RBK753. I encountered the same problem. Rebooting routers and reinstalling the app on my Android phone didn't fix it. I had the latest firmware. Netgear tech support recommended manually reinstalling the firmware, but that still didn't fix it. I did a factory reset on the router and satellites, reinstalled the apps and setup the routers and satellites again in the app. After that the speed test started working.
