Rebooting the orbi helps for a short while
after some time the speed drop to around a 90Mbit connection usually some internet glitches occurr
I if connect directly to the modem of the isp I get 800mbit plus connection
Using a linksys router inbetween I also get 800mbit plus connection
After a reboot I usually get the 800mbit speed for a while but then it drops again making me very sad about this very expensive product.
Since I'm still in warranty I'm thinking about returning this product unless this gets fixed soon.
I first thought it was an issue with the isp but did some extensive testing with them and there is no issue with their connection.
I also tried the factory reset as mentioned on some other topic
Highspeed internet acces laster for about 2 mins 600mbit plus download 50mbit upload
donwloads limited again to 90 mbit upload goes anywhere between 0.5mbit en 40mbit
Really dissappointed in this product

But no look so far :-(
Basic routing functionality that works well with other routers is a problem as well as wifi.
I can't keep resetting the router which seems to solve the issue for a while between 2min and 60mins and then everything is throttled again.
