I had tried rebooting my router and other components multiple times with no luck. I was able to contact NG support (Rose) and she suggested that I do a factory reset. She walked me through it and actually did most of the reset remotely. It was then necessary to do a new system setup for my router. Rose stayed on the line while everything rebooted. When I tried the SpeedTest upon full system startup, it worked. It has been working since last Friday. It took about an hour, and I had to clear my schedule and family's schedule to enable full shutdown of my WiFi, but in the end, everything is working great now. I hope it works for you, too.

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?
Does the speed test work from the RBRs web page under QoS use a web browser?
Does ooklas installable speed test app work from a wired PC and wireless mobile device?

Try uninstalling the orbi app. Reboot your mobile device. Re-install the app, then run thru a NEW SETUP on the app. Then try the speed test again.

I deleted the app, rebooted the device (iPad), reinstalled the app. I still have the same error.
