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

I have the same consistency issue as well as I am only getting 49-50 Mbps from the satellite out of the 250 Mbps connection.

Could adding a second satellite (i.e. Having 3 orbi) solve this?

Does anyone here have a trio system?

Thanks

    Hello aellul

    You may want to re position the satellite or try changing the wireless channel. Also do you have any older wireless devices connecting to the network? the wireless band will slow down if you have a older 802.11 device on the system.

      Will certainly try moving things around.

       

      Another thing I have noticed...it's just the download that is being effected.  The upload is always at 100% of what it should be.  I have a 15Mbps up speed and the speedtest always gives 15+Mbps all throught the house.  Anyone experiencing this?

       

      Thanks
