Best option for my house
Hey, so I have a large home and I want internet in certain areas. My house is Full Wired so I can have the best internet. The problem is I dont know what to Buy. I need 3 aps or Orbi system. Two of th...
- Which device do you use to test the wifi speed?
- Do you get the same speed when attached to the Router as when attached to the Satellite?
- What speed do you get in wired devices?
- Which 5GHz channel do you have in Orbi? Any neighbors using the same channel? Please make wifi scan and check. Change the channel if needed.
- Please enable MU-MIMO in the advanced wireless settings.
ekhalil Sudenly, I did some speedtests and now the speed is what it should be. So strange! In a moment, everything did right.
I have 1 SSID, and the devices choose automatically if it should connect to the 5ghz or 2.4 ghz. That's good!
anyway, let me ask you, what settings should I enable or disable to get the best performance of this system ?
thank you
Daisy-Chain feature should be enable or disable in my case ?

There miight have been radio interference from neighbour router that caused the issue earlier.
It's recommended that you make a wifi scan and select the most suitable radio channels for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands

I think it's always good to have MU-MIMO enabled.
For Daisy Chain it's up to you, if the wireless Satellite is closer to the other Satellite than to the Router then you may choose to allow daisy chain connection for that Satellite, otherwise it's better to disable Daisy Chain.
I setted daisy chain disabled because the Wifi satellite is closer to the router than the other satellite.
In the attached devices, the type connection of the Wireless Satellite is 2.4ghz but in the past was 5ghz. The satellite is close to the router, I'm confident that does not mean its a bad connection. I can anyway get the 200mbps of speed. But I wonder why it's sometimes in 2.4 in type connection
thank you for your help. You trully deserve some beers
In fact, not a good idea disable the chain tipology. The wireless satellite type connection is keeping "poor". I still have the maximum wifi speed. I enabled the chain again, and the connection is always "good".
Strange things I'll never understand :D

I don't think it's Daisy Chain that causes the Satellite to connect to the Router over 2.4 or 5 GHz band. I think if you just wait some time the backhaul will change automatically to the 5 GHz band.
- Yes, you are right. It changes to the 5ghz.
My only concern is that disabling the chain the wifi quality is set to be poor. Its so strange because the satellite is exactly in the same place, and with the chain active the quality is good. Guess it won’t be bad the chained remains activate. Anyway, you could clarify me about this. I think there was a time that with that setting off the quality remain good for 1 time. The wired satellite is always good btw
