Orbi RBS 750 dropping speeds
I have an Orbi ax 4200 triband mesh wifi 6 system, main router and two satelites. I have Windstream Kinetic gig service. I have had this Orbi for 18 months, over the last 3 months it has been droppin...
Instead of using Orbi app, what speeds do you see with a ethernet connected PC and wireless device using Ooklas installable speed test app?
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 is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
