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.

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.

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.

The error I'm seeing is: "connection failed. If the problem persists try rebooting your router"
everything else seems to be working fine...connectivity is good throughout the house, the satellites are visible, all connected devices show up...I just can't get the SpeedTest to run.
