    Well, problem fixed.  Change all the cables just in case it was the cables. .  But I had to reset the Orbi to factory settings. I didn't want to reset the thing to original factory settings because there are a lot of things on wireless, not counting having to reset the three satellites.  But that did it.  I am back to 230 Mbps.  Now I have to reset the satellites and reconnect the 5 security cameras, the thermostat, the 3 echos, two TVs, PS5, PS4 and i am pretty sure I am forgetting two or three other things that I dont remember.  I hate it, but at least I am up to speed.

     

    I rechecked and I am abou5t 90% sure the speed dropped right after I updated to the last firmware about three months ago.
