RBR750 issue: 50% speed slowdown
I've owned several Netgear routers, starting with WNDR3700. I purchased the RBR50 once the firmware began to get some good reviews, and it worked well. To keep up with the introduction of WiFi 6 I pu...
I have a reconditioned/refurbished/refreshed RBR750 on the way, due to arrive tomorrow. Thanks to the three of you who responded. Too bad no one has a solution for lightning strikes. đ

I also would think that hardware breakdown is rare. I've not experienced such a thing with the 7 or so routers I own/have owned. There are 3 speedtests: (1) in the Orbi software, (2) on a Firefox browser on "the last Intel iMac," and (3) on the iPhone 13 Speedtest app. They all agree.
The modem is a Motorola MB8600 Docsis 3.1. There is no "double NAT," and even if there were it would be for all three routers in the comparison.
Thanks for your comments.
Are the satellites wired paired to Orbi router or wireless? What other wired devices do you have in your network?
