ORBIO-R750 WIFI SLOWER AT NEW INTERNET MODEM SPEED 1G
I recently upgraded my Modem Speed from 560Mbps to 1G and the Router/Modem connection verifies that. Unfortunately, my WIFI Speed actually decreased from 560Mbps to 450 now !!. I have 4 Satellites and bunch of AP Extenders throughout the house and it's quite frustrating. I've Rebooted everything and WIFI speed has degraded. Have current Firmware version and CAT-6 cable between Spectrum Modem and Orbi-R750 Router.
Any suggestions to try would be appreciated.

Is this from using the Orbi Speed Test feature on the Orbi 'app' or the Orbi web interface to validate the Internet Service Provider performance?
WiFi speed is a function of "so many things"
- Device being used to measure speed
- Distance from device to the Orbi unit (or WiFi extender) is is connected to
- Load on the WiFi channel at the time of the test
- What else is using the network and the internet connection at the time. (One user posted complaining about slow internet and then mentioned, "oh, I am uploading 100GB of data to cloud storage.")
This unexpected situation certainly is not what one would expect.
- Nothin his declaring and I’m right next I the Router. The speed is using speed test from multiple websites. It has insistently been 550M before the upgrade. Thezirbi App shows 950M connection to the Internet.
