Absurdly slow speeds from outbuilding Satellite
Hello I am hoping to get some help on bad speeds and dropped coverages. I've recently moved into a house with an outbuilding pool house about 150' away. Internet is FiOS and of course, it comes in...
An Orbi satellite connected directly to the router with ethernet cable should provide the same performance level as the Orbi router.
When you look at the Orbi web interface "Attached Devices", what does it show for the pool house satellite?
(how is it connected?)
That’s the weird thing - it shows up with a solid line/wired and is rated as “good” On the web interface and with a green indicator in the app.
From appearances it should be functioning.
Overall there seems to be an incredible diminution of speeds on the Orbi WiFi - even the router shows no more than 50-60, sometimes a spike to 100, speeds while plugged directly into the FiOS router. And the pool house is another order of magnitude below everything else.

have you seen this article?

If you have, how do you have the fios router and the orbi router configured?
- Yes - that’s exactly what I have - the FiOS WiFi has been disabled and Orbi is running in AP mode
What firmware is on the orbi router and what about the satellites?
If the orbi is in AP mode, the verizon device is controlling the router functions.
Have you tried the orbi in route rmode with it placed in the verizon router dmz? or the verizon device in passthrough mode?
