    What web pages?  costco, amazon..

    Are you speed testing with a web site or Ooklas installable Speed test app? I'm testing with both, orbi native app and then google fiber's test

    Can you test with Ooklas installable speed test app on a ethernet connected PC?

     

    Were are the PCs connected? At the RBR or behind an RBS?  at the RBR

    What Firmware version is currently loaded? v7.2.6.31

    There are known issues with this version of FW.


    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Its a google fiber jack

    Is there a ONT that the RBR connects too? 


    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.  yes, using CAt 6

    CAT6A STP differs from CAT6 UTP cableing. 

     

    How many RBS are deployed? 3 , however this is for my hardwire computer plugged into the RBR

    Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?  Yes
    Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices? Yes

    Try disabling the following and see:
    Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.  Will try this next.

    Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellite(s) been performed since last update?   Yes
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence: Yes, this was done in sequence several times.
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.


    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? No, if nothing else, I'll resort to this.

    And yes, changed DNS w/o resolution.
