RBR50 experiencing slow wired connection and frequent router reboots
I purchased the RBR50 some months ago, and I've recently begun to see two significant issues, one that I think people have quite a bit of experience with (frequent router reboots, even on the latest firmware 2.1.4.16), but another that I haven't seen on here.
Essentially, I have a 200mbps connection from my ISP, and that comes through a modem/router supplied by them that is in bridge mode and through to the Orbi router. The speedtest on the router interface shows that expected 200mbps.
However, generally on my PC, which is wired into the main router, I will generally see speeds of only 5mbps. If I restart my computer or if I disconnect and reconnect my ethernet adapter, I will get 200mbps speeds for a time, and then (I have not determined the trigger) later I will be down at 5mbps again.
It doesn't appear like the Orbi has a bandwidth limiter, and I'm definitely still seeing normal wireless connections, but just this wired connection keeps slipping down to 5mbps and requiring a refresh. Any idea what would cause this? It seems like for the time being we have to live with the disconnects, but at least I'd like to get my full speeds when the thing is online...

Is the PC the only wired device to experience this?
Try a different wired PC to see if problem follows?
Was a full power cycle of the Orbi system performed after the FW was updated?

Re: RBR50 experiencing slow wired connection and frequent router reboots
Are these the only devices connected to the orbi?
Whats the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too?
I would do a Factory erase and set up from scratch. I would first set up the router, dont' enable the speedtest app on the router. Just set it up and run a couple of tests from the PCs first...

Re: RBR50 experiencing slow wired connection and frequent router reboots
Possible any ISP issues with the modems or ISP services?
I understand that you udpated. If you updated via auto update, I recommend downloading the FW files to your PC and applying them manually as the suggestion by the linked user said that his system worked better after applying them manually and setting up from scratch.
You might contact your ISP to make sure your signal on the cable line is to spec and good. The router and modem depend on this.
