Orbi 6E Brand New slow Web?

I have ~140 devices on my Orbi.  Subnet is 255.255.255.0 so all devices are of the form 192.168.1.*

 

The Web Interface is dog slow?  What gives? It took me 30 minutes to setup Reserved Addresses for about 13 addresses.  Why?

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. 

     

    What browser are you using? Happens with other browsers? 

    Try a different PC to compare?

    Wire or wireless connection with the UI?

     

    Wow that many devices. Wheew...maybe bogging down the UI...

      Hardware Version RBRE960
      Firmware Version V6.3.7.5_3.2.25

       

      Just bought Orbi a couple weeks ago so this has to be newest (I hope).  Some devices did not re-connect -- I'm up to 145 devices now all on 192.168.1.* 255.255.255.*

       

      I'm using the Cable that came with my new Orbi to connect my modem to NG.  Is this one good enough? I have some extra (gold) ones I could replace it with -- but I figured I would just use the one that came in the box.

       

      The model -- well -- right now I'm not sure but I will check.

       

      The App behaves fine by the way with showing all the devices I have -- its just the web that is dog slow.

    The reserved addresses UI is very slow.  I have ~80 and it takes ~10 sec after you press Add and then Edit for each additional one.  It's just a flawed implementation, has nothing to do with wifi/ethernet/ISP speeds.
