AX6000 slow satellite speeds

I am running the SXR80/SXS80 version of the AX6000 Orbi Pro (FW V4.2.3.102) running in AP mode.

 

Recently my satellite units have lost a great deal of network speed.  I was able to see 400-600Mb anywhere in the house. (tested with Ookla Speedtest)

Today, I see speeds below 100Mb.  I still get 800+Mb from the SXR80 base unit.

 

I didn't make any changes to the settings.  I haven't added any new hardware to consume all the bandwidth.  I did notice an automatic firmware update on 10/11/22 but I cannot relate the loss of speed to this date.

 

Any thought on how to regain the network speed?  

 

Thanks for your support.

    Are you using a wired backhaul or wireless? 

    If you test the hardwired speeds on each satellite with a hardwired laptop, what do you get?

      Backhaul is wireless.

      I will try the wired speed check.

      Until recently, performance was not an issue.

        For sure try the wired speedtest. That helps determine if its a backhaul issue or fronthaul issue.
