Some additional detail would be helpful:
- Which Speed Test is showing the expected speed?
- A Speed Test report from the Orbi router web interface or the Orbi 'app'?
- A Speed Test run on a device wired to the Orbi? (Such as Ookla Speed Test)
- A Speed Test run on a device connected to Orbi over WiFi?
- If the Speed Test was a report from the Orbi, then it would be very helpful to use a web browser to connect to Ookla Speed Test and measure speed from both a wired and WiFi device. https://www.speedtest.net
- In what way are apps like Twitter and YouTube not working when connected over WiFi?
- What sort of devices is this happening with? (more than one?)
- Is it safe to assume that everything was 'normal' until just recently?
- Speedtest over wifi on iPhone and MacBook. Just started happening recently.
Either it opens tweets, videos and webpages very slowky or won’t load them at all.
Wired speeds and Wi-Fi speedtests are consistent.
