Orbi WiFi speeds drop low until I reboot the router

Dear All,

I have the following Orbi mesh router with 2 satellites running the latest firmware v.2.7.3.22:

Netgear Orbi Mesh Router RBK53S-100NAS (router + 2 satellites)

Router Product Model: RBR50v2

This is NOT a wifi6 router

 

Every so often (once a week) my wifi speeds in all the wireless devices gets really low (~ 30 Mbps). Then I unplug and plug back the router. After that, I get back my normal wireless speeds ~ 300 Mbps. Until a few days later when speeds drop down again and I have to repeat the process. I am about to retire this Orbi and purchase a new mesh router from another vendor (no more Netgear - this Orbi has been nothing but troubles) with new WiFi6 capabilities.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this annoying problem? I am also not so happy for getting ~ 300 Mbps on wifi when my internet capabilities are 600 Mpbs (verified with wired connection).

 

Thanks!
