Thank you for taking the time to provide your response, its very helpful.
Is there a way to get visibility of what devices could be 'sucking up the WIFI'?
I have about 40 devices connected to the WIFI in total and about 10-15 showing as 'online' at any one time. This was the case when i ran the speed tests this morning (speeds I have provided).
As a follow up example, testing again as i write this response, the speed shown in the Orbi App is matching that on my PC and iPhone.
Thanks Clinton
2.4G WiFi can be affected by any number of things (microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc. etc.) I am 99% certain that the computer and iPhone WiFi connections are on the 5G band which is less affected. (This would be verified using the Orbi 'app' or the web interface Attached Devices screen.)
It would probably be a good idea to log when this happens and how long the situation persists.
