Constantly dropping connectivity
Hi All
I bought an Orbi RBR50 at end of November '18. The intention was to use the satellite to connect to an outside office I was building and also to an invertor I was installing once the bui...
The 2.4GHz is the backaul connection. The client still can make 5GHz connection to Satellite regardless of the backhaul back to the main Router. Since your max download speed is 45Mbps, it's still within the range of 2.4GHz bw and you won't benefit from 5Ghz bw in this case. A "Poor" backhaul connection in this case won't have performance impact on your setup unless you upgrade to Gbits download speed. If you are able to get 45Mbps in all area of interest, then you are golden.
Speedtest results were between 35 - 45Mbps. From the master router they were about 45Mbps so I was pretty pleased with the outcome.
There's not a significant difference in the sppedtest results for be to roll back the FW versions. Here in the UK, 45Mbps over wifi is pretty good.
As the sat-2 was showing a 2.4Ghz connection in the web app, I was surprised to see my iphone showing as 5Ghz, whilst connecting through the sat-2.
Solar guys came this afternoon and moved the inverter antenna outside my IP65 cab so I will mess about with that over the weekend, to see if I can get it hooked up to my master router.
Outside office should be ready by Monday so I'll start moving kit into there and report back later on performance via sat-2.
Have a great weekend y'all.
