Devices get stuck connected to Orbi in 2.4 GHz mode
Wondering if people are running into the same issue. Background: 2 story house. Orbi router in downstairs office. Satelitte upstairs. After a bit of testing, I was able to find a location for...
hmm , if you cross your fingers real tight you might find the tooth fairy brings you that for xmas :)
I have noticed over the past few days that my Orbi Satelitte is connecting to the main Router with a 100 MBPS connection. Now I may be off here but I was under the understanding that the network backmesh was 5GB (I assumed an AC back end mesh...is that even possible if it connects with only 100 MBPS).
If that is the case with your situation it may explain the drop in speed when on the Satelitte as I dont think it can push top end speeds if the units back end is being provided over a 100 MBPS connection?
Again I could be way off :)!!!
How do you know the connection is only 100Mbps? (Yes, it's *very* unlikely that's the case, as you noted.)

When using the Network Genie you can tap the image of any device connected to the main Router and it will show the signal strength and the MPBS being "pushed" to that device. For instance my Phone shows a connection of 800+MBPS with about 70% signal strenght, however the Satellite shows a 100 MPBS connection with 100% signal strength?
Given the units backmesh is meant to run in 5GB 1733 I am a bit confused by the data relayed through the Network Genie...
