The same thing happened again yesterday. My wife moved from her desk on the 3rd floor to just somewhere else in her office and her speed went <1Mbps.

It seems to be tied directly to my wife's laptop. Almost like it does a denial of serive against Orbi and just kills the wifi.

Did she turn OFF the wifi radio then back ON again after she had moved locations?

My wife simply moved 5-10 feet away from her desk that she had been teaching at all day. That's when her speed dropped under 1Mbps and verified it using a speed test. She then came to the 1st floor where her speed continued to be abysmal. I then turned off and turned back on her wifi. I also did a `ipconfig /release` and `ipconfig /renew`. Both things did not release the issue. I then rebooted Orbi and her speed when to >300Mbps.
