Hello, I'm still fairly new to the Orbi mesh system and I'm so far satisfied with it. One issue is puzzling me:
1. I've lost the ability to test the speed of my connection from it. I can still test it from the connected devices, but not directly from the menu in the Orbi. I get a "Connection Failed" message (If the problem persists, try rebooting your router). Obviously I have tried rebooting the Orbi, multiple times, even a cold reboot with no luck. Any thoughts? I find this useful to understand QoS in a work from home environment.
I usually don't recommend people use the built in speedtest anyway because its not the most accurate. It doesn't always pick the fastest server so can give you skewed results. It is nice for a handy quick test.
I was hoping for a less harsh solution than factory reset as I have a a fairly complex setup that's hard to replicate, particularly manually configuring smart home devices to connect to the router/ap. It is connected to a Netgear CM1100 modem/router.
I understand the caveat of testing for speed directly from the orbi, but I'm curious that is not working as it is nice to have for a quick test check.

Does Speedtest work correctly from user devices? i.e. the only Speedtest that fails is from the Orbi web interface?
I tried the backup method, you will still run into the same issue. You have to factory reset and reconnect all devices one by one, that seemed to fix the issue but it was a pain reconnecting everything.
