RBK40 Download Speed Slows Down After 5 Days
I have the RBK40 Router with two RBS20 satellites connected to my home wifi. I'm using it in router mode and not AP mode..Every 5 days my Internet speed drops from around 200mbps to around 40mbps..Th...
Thanks for the reply. When I said "Internet speed" I meant the speed I'm seeing while connected to wifi. All of my devices are connected via wifi and I don't have anything hardwired as of now.
I will give your suggestion a shot when i see my speeds start to drop again and will update this tread when I do. I was reading that the logs hold a maximum of 250 entries so maybe when they get full is when I see the speed drops. In the log section of GUI there are total of 8 different options I can log. If clearing them fixes the issue which ones would you suggest that I leave checked afterwards. Do I need any of them checked? I'm not very technical, so when I look at the logs it means nothing to me. Would I need them for anything other than me looking at them?

Your call really. The logs are there to help you to diagnose problems.
You could consult them to see if they show anything related to your wifi issues.
I have my logs set up to email them to me daily. This seems to empty out the log.
Another thing you could try would be to factory reset the Orbi router.
- Ok I will try your first suggestion first to see if that is the problem. So your saying if I set the logs to email out to myself that it will clear the logs that you see when logged into the admin section?
Not sure how it works. I'm just saying that my logs are empty. Nothing after the [email sent to: entry.
Then again, I have no idea if logs have anything to do with your slowdown. It is just a guess based on comments I have seen elsewhere in this community.
Ok great..Thanks for your help and suggestions! I will update this thread if I see an improvement after clearing the logs after my speed drops.
