How to increase wifi speed (130 mbs fed to router but 39 mbs max wifi )
Hello, I have upgraded my Internet provider to a 120 mbs feed into my home. I am actually getting 130 mbs at the RBR50 Orbi router. However, the wifi speed in my home reaches only 39 mbs. How can...
Be sure both RBR and RBS are using same version of FW.
What wireless devices are you using to speed test with? Be sure the device is connected to the RBR or RBS for testing. Turn OFF the RBS temporarily.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or may not be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
