RBK53 Slow download speeds through router
After having the Orbi RBK53 for almost a year the download speed has slowed to a crawl. I get 300 mbps using speed test from the modem and from Orbi's built in speed test. The speed when I plug an ethernet cable to the back of the orbi to my pc slows to about 10 mbps.
I have tried rebooting the Orbi. Rebooting the modem and the Orbi. Resetting the Orbi to factory default settings (paperclip method). Rebooting the Orbi mutiple times.
Tried updating the firmware to 2.3.5.30 automatically. Then reset the Orbi to factory default settings. Then updated the firmware manually (updating the satellite first and then the router).
Tried on two different pcs to make sure the ethernet plug wasn't the issue - although it shows 300 mbps when plugged in from the modem.
I haven't changed any of the factory default settings of the router and the speed coming out of the router is still running around 10 mbps.
I don't see any recent posts about this issue - although there are hundreds in the forum from long ago that gave these solutions.
Any ideas about what else I can check?

Yes, this is a puzzle. What do you see on the Orbi "Show Statistics" page.
On the Advanced Tab-> Select "Show Statistics"
