I have 1gb internet with Comcast. With my Orbi mesh router and satellite I have always got 850-950 mbps dl speeds. Last week my speeds dropped to 80-100 mbps. After power cycling router and modem, the speeds go back up to 850-950, however shortly after they reduce back down to 80-100. Very frustrating since I’m paying for 1gb service! Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated.
What Firmware version is currently loaded? What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What devices are you using to speed test with? Both wired and wireless?
How many RBS are deployed? What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 🛰️
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz. Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see: Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.
I have the 753 system (750 router and two satellites) with Comcast (Xfinity). We have the 800/20 plan but typically get around 920/25 (wired and close to on WiFi). However, we use our own modem and not the Comcast-suppled gateway. Speeds are consistent and reliable. The two satellites upstairs are hard wired with over 100' of solid copper core CAT-6 cabling. Zero issues. Firmware is the current version.
I'd suspect the Comcast gateway if you've done the other methods suggested for the Orbi.
