RBRE960 - wireless connection from bedroom pc to orbi goes way down in speed
I’m having troubles getting my bedroom PC to connect to the orbi’s with consistently high speed. I use a 6E wireless card. The TP Link AXE5400 When everything is working right, the card pulls down ...
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
Right now my PC is working again normally. Yesterday morning, I couldn't get on the internet at all, even after rebooting modem/router/PC
I did that several times with no luck.
Then I went to the Orbi app, and deleted my PC and rebooted it, and since then everything has been fine. Something I'll keep in mind in the future if this happens again!

Enjoy. 📡I was premature in marking this solved. I'm still having the same troubles. It's not just one device, I've had it on 3 different devices. Right now - my phone and my downstairs PC are getting full speed, but my bedroom pc still isn't.
It's the same troubles when there's troubles. Everything works ok, I get 900 plus download and am able to access orbi login. Doesn't work right I only get 180 or so, and am unable to access the orbi login page.
It says my bedroom pc is connected to the wi fi 6 band.
I've reset the orbi router to factory several times - and then set it up again, but nothing helps. I hope someone out there can spot a solution. I've tried support, but they're of no help.

How far is your bedroom PC from the Orbi base/satellite? Are there any walls inbetween? The 6Ghz band is faster but even shorter range than 5Ghz that limitation may be playing into your environmental conditions.
Frankly, I think it's a waste of time trying to obsess over your speed test results. Nothing should matter whether you have 180Gbps or 900Gbps. Wi-fi interference and environmental conditions will cause speed results to vary across devices.
However, if you cannot access something on your network then that's a serious problem and investigate that connectivity issue (separate from speed). I suggest diagnosing connectivity breakage by first turning off your satellites and seeing if it reoccurs (if yes, then try turning on a satellite one by one). Is it only one device that has these issues (if yes and it's your PC, disable 6Ghz and see if it reoccurs - If no then it could be a 6Ghz limitation with your device driver or the Orbi).
