[Orbi RBK852] Throttling Wi-Fi speed for individual devices
The throttling happens a few minutes after I start watching video streamings, torrenting, web scraping, etc.
The drag in Wi-Fi speed only happens on the device who initiates high-bandwidth activities, and the Wi-Fi signal sometimes even drops.
When one device throttles, the other devices do not seem to be affected.
The peak download speed is almost 15MB/s, but it just throttles afterwards...
I have had this issue since I purchased Orbi.
I have read some posts, but none of them applies to my situation.
I also found that many options mentioned in the community are missing from my router, not sure if newer firmware do not offer those anymore...
Thank you all in advance!

Re: [Orbi RBK852] Throttling Wi-Fi speed for individual devices
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
