I need to keep restarting RBRE9606E (AXE) router to get fast wifi
I have a RBRE9606E (AXE), with 2 satellites. Firmware V6.0.3.85_3.1.15 I have noticed that last 3 to 4 days that I need to restart/unplug the Orbi router to get full speed wifi. By this I mean, I ...
Just wanted to post what solved the issue I was having.
I also wanted to reply on how some of the suggestions ignored and overlook the problem that was described in my original post.
-There was no issue with the satellites.
-There was no issue with the comcast/xfinity modem in bridge mode.
-There is no problem with the size of the house.
Issue was with the Orbi Router, and I was standing right in front of it when testing and using the wifi from the router (not the satellites). The WIFI from router to wireless devices kept slowing down randomly to a crawl.
Anyhow.....
I reset the router back to factory settings and that solved the issue.

2 things you can try based off using an xfinity device in bridge mode (never trusting of xfinity and their bridge mode)
1. If you're not using any off the added features like armor/circle, try putting the xfinity device back in router mode (disable its wifi) and connect the Orbi to it in access point mode
2. Try putting the xfinity device back in router mode (again, wifi disabled) but put the orbi's ip address into the xfinity device's dmz.
only try one of these options.
