What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Are your speeds tested wireless or wired?
Was a reset performed after the FW update?

My satellites are connected through wireless backhaul. I can reboot the the system and every thing will go back to normal for another 5 days..What could be causing this? Memory leak of some sort) I have not changed any of the default settings except for disabling the daisy chain option. I am running the latest firmware (2.1.4.16)
On #4 I meant to say the speeds slow down on the 5th day every time and after i reboot the speeds will resume to over 200 mbps second again.
