About MU-MIMO, Fast Roaming on RBK50
Hi, My system network: ISP -> pfsense router -> Orbi RBK50 (AP MODE). I have 2 ISPs: 150Mbps + 50Mbps and load balancing dual-wan 150Mbps + 50Mbps = 200Mbps. I have some problems, sent email t...
Yes, the 90mb speed is clear. What is not clear is how this can be possible. Since MY Orbi is in router mode, I do know with 100% certainty what shows up on the Advanced Tab, Internet, "Connection Status". I have only a modem, so it is impossible for me to put my Orbi into AP mode to verify that the display is the same. It "should be", so I am 99% certain, but not 100%
What does your Orbi "Connection Status" show when the Cat6 cable is plugged into the WAN port?
If it shows 1,000mb (as it should) then "I got nothin".
If it shows 100mb, then a speed of 90mb is entirely reasonable. And, no, I have no idea WHY it would show 100mb when we all know it should show as 1,000mb.
To make the magenta light go out, the Orbi needs to be connected using the WAN port.
Only the LAN port will get 200mb, and the magenta light stays on.
I'm talking about AP MODE, if cat6 was plugged into wan port, internet speed reaches 90Mbps.

According to Netgear support page, AP Mode connection is LAN port on host router to WAN port on RBR50, This is how mine is setup as well.
Hi~
I checked WAN port again, it's dirty :smileyfrustrated:
Thank you very much. :cattongue:
Love you so much :heart:
Hi CrimpOn, I was kidding you.
With AP MODE, you can not plug cat6 into WAN PORT. It only reach 90Mbps. 1,000Mbps goes down to 100Mbps. I tried many cable. That's true.
With AP MODE, you must to plug cat6 into LAN PORT. It will reach full speed.
I hope Netgear supporters add features turn on/off LED and turn manual / auto update firmware.
And Display icon & Device name on attached devices tab.
We need humor on the forum. Sorry to be so 'fixated' on this one point. So, when the Cat6 cable is plugged into the WAN port, the "Connection Status" web page actually shows the WAN port at 100mb?
