Slow Speeds Orbi RBR50
I am having slower than normal speeds with my Orbi. I have gigabit internet through ATT. I used to have speeds 800-900Mbs wired and 300-400 over Wifi. But now currently having 90-100Mbs over Wifi. With hard reset of Orbi, I have a return of initial speeds but after a couple hours it returns back to 90-100Mbs. I have even installed previous versions of firmware. Only thing that returns my speeds are hard reset of the router.
Any suggestions?

Re: Slow Speeds Orbi RBR50
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?
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.

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, Circle, Daisy Chain, Traffic Meter, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
