Orbi 970_Upload Suddenly Capped at 50mbs
Hello, I have had a pleasant experience with the 970 mesh throughout the last year - where i seemed to be getting the most out of my service providers 900/100 originally and the 900/300 about 2 m...

Hi, see below answers to the queries. I should stress that it works fine without the router when connected directly to fibre box, and that i have factory rest the orbi router. This worked fine for most of the last 2 months since shifting ISP - i have only noticed the slow upload during the last week.
- I have been using ookla speedtest and the one that is accessible via the router settings.
- I have connected the PC direct to the ONT via ethernet and and in this scenario i am getting close to the max 900/300
- Ethernet adapter is Marvell AQtion 10Gbit, and i have tried multiple cables (including the one that achieves 900/300 when direct connected to fibre box)
- DNS - using ISP automatically assigned dns
- IPv6 enabled
- ORBI features Armor or Traffic Meter - not enabled (i have factory reset the orbi and issue remains)
Any help appreciated - cheers

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Try using custom DNS and disable IPv6 as well.
Try a different PC with a built in ethernet adapter to compare results.
