Bad performance Orbi RBR20 with Unitymedia / Vodafone Station

Thanks for your feedback.

I am actually on the latest firmware version: V2.7.3.22

It seems to be that devices connect to 5G only if the device is really close (2m) to the Orbi. Otherwise the device will connect to 2.4G. Therefore the measured performance is very limited. I assume that the firmeware update has caused a different behavior as previously.

Thanks & best regards

app. 10 meters each

 

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or may not be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

no changes

 

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Traffic Meter, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
