Update: The speedtest in the web gui only shows the results of a speedtest taken 2 days ago. The speed reported did not match the last speedtest taken on the orbi app. When clicking on TAKE A SPEEDTEST it still instantly shows results and date of two days prior.
Can anyone else please check their webgui to see if this is just me or a system issue

Will do, just took one test about 30 minutes ago. Doing another now, seems different results.
I do notice that the iPhone Orbi app doesn't seem to get full results on a 1G/50Mbps ISP service. Hitting at around 700Mbps for the down while Ooklas speed test app hits over 900Mbps.

For me, it takes 15-20 seconds for the result of the spped test to come out, exactly as it always did.
- KMDonlonNov 24, 2019VirtuosoUsing the speed test appears to activate some type of QOS settings.... My wifi slows down tremendously after using the speed test and there appears to be no way to turn QOS off or on currently in the GUI

Chuck_M I've just saw the same issue, that the speed test shows the results of the speed test taken 2 days ago.
When this happens in the web GUI, the Orbi app just times out when running a peed test.
Nothing helped to solve the issue except a factory reset. Very wierd issue.

Thanks for letting me know... glad it isn't just me.
So....
- Remote access using Orbi App
- Device Naming
- Speed Testing
I wonder when we will start to see movement on some of these issues.
Any tribal knowledge out there on when the next firmware release is?
