Orbi RBK852 unstable speeds
I've had my RBK852 setup for ~18 months running wifi from a google fiber router with 1 gig service. Speeds have been solid throughout the house with a ping of <5 ms and typical upload / download of 4...
Yep, power off has been performed for the 1 min on both orbi and the fiber modem.
hardwired to the fiber modem with Ooklash speed test delivers 1 ms ping and >1 gig up / down. Over wifi speeds vary dramatically but the real problem is the ping latency... >200 ms at times and causing havoc on all wifi devices.
Very odd given all worked flawlessly until a week ago. Given speed at the fiber modem not sure what else it could be but the orbi network.
You might turn OFF all wifi devices and test with just one or two PCs connected to check latancy. Some of this could be coming from someting on your netowrk. Or instead of turning things OFF, Turn OFF The RBS, Then change the SSID name temporarily to something else. Then run some tests with just the RBR alone and a wired and one wireless phone or pad.
