Rbr 750 requires daily reboot
Hi,
I have the rbr750 orbi system with 2 satellites. The current firmware is 4.6.8.2_2.1.9. My download speed is supposed to be 1000mbps, but speedtests around 600-900 at normal times.
But, everyday, this falls to about 10% (60-95mbps), until I reboot it, and then it's back to its normal range. It stays there for most of the day (and sometimes 2 days) till it requires a reboot again.
Any idea what's going on? Speeds are measured through the orbi app.
Thanks

Glad to hear it was a sketchy connector!

Try testing using the speedtest app/browser on a hardwired in device.
The app doesn't always pick the best server so its worth seeing if its something related to the router itself or the speedtest server its choosing.
- Results are the same using speed test. I notice the speeds drop on hardwired devices and that's when I test the speed and see the bad results. Reboot generally fixes it, but recently I've had to hard power recycle the router to get the speeds to restore ☹️
when its dropping in speed, whats showing in the wan port statistics page.

See Attached.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. If your ISP Modem or ONT supports 2.5Gb on there WAN port, CAT6A STP cable would be recommended.
