Finally broke down and installed a new router last Sunday. Internet has been steady ever since. Orbi was only 7 months old.

So today during my lunch hour I connected my laptop to the CM700 modem and ran the testmynet with 5 minute intervals. Upload was very consistant at ~28Mb, almost a straightline.

So I'm back to Modem to Orbi and Orbi to (1) work VPN (2) switch and (3) MOCA Dongal. We'll see how the afternoon goes.

Thanks,

Jan 17, 2020 I connected my laptop directly to the CM700 last night and ran the testmynet test on 5 minute increments. THis morning, the upload speeds were all very consistent at ~20 to 25 Mb all thru the night. Yet, when I connect my Orby RBR50 and RBS50, my wireless upoad speeds randomly drop out?

THanks,

Sounds like a problem with the Orbi.

I would post about this over in the Orbi AC forum:

Good Luck.

    Try a factory reset on the Orbi system and setup from scratch.
    
    Good Luck.
