Perhaps QOS is to blame. I have fiber gig, 1000 up & down and get 650+ up and down on my phone... 800+ on my laptop with my Intel AX201 WiFi card. From 20 plus feet away.
I do not us the speed test as I have read not to use it with gig. Perhaps a factory reset and do not enable QOS.

Thank you for the reply. When i got into the orbi advanced interface there is no way to disable QOS all that is there is a speedtest. Maybe a bad firmware upgrade?
- KMDonlonMar 08, 2020VirtuosoNo way to disable other than a factory reset and do not run a speed test in the web gui or Orbi app.

Ok did that. No speed test. No difference. Also turned off WMM for 2.4 and 5 Ghz off and no difference. Turned off all other wifi devices except my laptop and desktop and no difference. Im stumped.
- KMDonlonMar 08, 2020VirtuosoStrange indeed, have you tried different WiFi channels?
Hopefully someone else will have other thoughts on the subject.
