ORBI Wifi Speed Drops

I'm experiencing problems with the wifi dropping to 1/3 of it was after the setup. I reboot the router and all is fine for a while but then it reverts back to the same problem. I find myself rebooting daily and sometimes twice a day. I've tried a hard reset 3 times now and can't get it to maintain its highest speed.

 

This is getting frustrating and thinking of returning this unit.Any help from a moderator would be greatly appreciated.

Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)

I have been reporting the same problem for weeks now through several different lots of firmware, only short term fix is a hard reset, very frustrating

Have you tried to enable beamforming and mumimo in the advanced wireless settings?

I have tried this with no change and also find that when the speed drops it effects wired as well, so not sure these would help regardless. How about you Mach?
