Chromebook consistently slower than other devices on Orbi
I have an Orbi mesh network with 2 satelites. I did a room by room, device by device comparison using speedtest.net. Our chromebook (x360 bought last year) doesn't exceed 40mbps where apple devices can reach 200mbps. I did notice the Chromebook is commonly on the 2.4ghz, but I don't know if that matters. Is there anything you could recommend to help my Chromebook take fuller advantage of my network?
Be sure to make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping on the RBR. Saves time of a reset is needed. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.

So I solved it (accidentally)... the router needed updates, something I don’t think was visible via the app but was via the web login. Chromebook is cruising now!

reset everything by restarting modem, router and device.
