Inconsistency with Orbi Speed
Hi I've recently bought the twin Orbi router system and I have mixed feelings about it. I have seen the fastest speed I've ever experienced using it purely by speed testing it on my iPhone 7 i.e. 3...
Hi Gilles
Did a few tests with 3 different devices
Wired MacBook 2009
Test 1 : 269.9 DL - 37.03 UL
Test 2 : 286.49 DL - 37.12 UL
Test 3 : 285.56 DL - 37.18 UL
Test 4 : 279.44 DL - 37.10 UL
Test 5 : 229.84 DL - 37.08 UL
Wireless MacBook Air 2014
Test 1 : 232.34 DL - 36.83 UL
Test 2 : 233.47 DL - 36.97 UL
Test 3 : 206.94 DL - 37.16 UL
Test 4 : 219.69 DL - 37.25 UL
Test 5 : 236.86 DL - 37.16 UL
iPhone 7 2016
Test 1 : 44.19 DL - 27.19 UL
Test 2 : 42.28 DL - 36.90 UL
Test 3 : 255.20 DL - 37.02 UL
Test 4 : 345.85 DL - 37.20 UL
Test 5 : 260.33 DL - 36.88 UL
I ran these 5 tests on the 3 different devices one after the other , connecting direct to the router as requested and the other two over wifi - is it just a case of the inconsistencies of wifi on a phone and I just have to deal with it ? If so it's a shame as this iPhone is the device I'm on 99% of the time,
Let me know what you think,
Regards
John

I tried to reboot the satellite to factory reset and re-sync, but get the same download speeds of about 80 Mbps. When I first set this system up, I was getting 250 Mbps at the satellite too.
Why am I only getting < 1/2 down load speed at the satellite?
