Just updated fireware to latest one today in the hope that would help... It has been doing it for a few days now so not the new fw to blame. The router is a Vodafone one supplied from isp. I am using the speed test app on android to test speed and ironically it is the same service that the orbi uses and the speeds are so different. The home is 1200sft I am using channel 11 on 2ghz and 40 on 5ghz.
Will look at changing those settings and see if that works.

1200 sqft? Are you using the Router and satellites in the home? 1200 sq ft, you only need the router. You may have too much singal sources over lapping for this size of home. The router alone can cover up to aroud 2000sq ft. Turn OFF the satellites for now and do some speed testing with the Orbi router alone.
