Internet Speed RBR 40
My wifi speed at the cable modem is 200mbps. I can only get out of the Orbi 94 Mbps. Is there something I can do to get the speed out of the Orbi? The signal everywhere is pretty good, it is just the...
Update
I did set up the new router that was sent. In talking with Netgear we did 3. things not sure which of the 3 worked but I went from 94mbpl to 200mbps
Here is what we did. Changed chanel on the 5mh to 48, Dumped the app from my IPad, and reinstalled and finally replace the cord between my modem and router. Only problem now is internet drops out from my Macbook, but nothing else. I guess Orbi keeps one thinking.
Well I tested with a iPhone 6SP iOS 11.4 with my CBK40, same as RBR40 just with cablem modem built in. Saw 200 on the down.
Can you download wifi sweet spots on your phone and let us know what speeds your seeing with the iPhone? THis will test the speeds between just the phone and router...
It shows average of 522 Mbps and Ookla says 94 Mbps?
I am having the same issue with my RBK50... My hardwire speed is 100Mbps and wifi is around 50Mbps....
Using Wi-Fi Sweetspots : 130 Mbps
Wifi Ookla: 55Mbps
Hardwire to Orbi Router. : 85Mbps
Hardwire to Modem : 100Mbps
Did factory reset/ Latest Firmware/ Satellite is 30ft away. Customer support said that this is "normal" and if I wanted faster WiFi speeds I should get a 200Mbps connection... Thanks Tech Support.
Ok so yoru getting high speed connection between the client device and the Orbi Wifi.
Something on the router WAN side thru the ISP modem isn't getting full speed to 200Mb...
Possible problem at the router on wifi.

I really have no doubt it is somthing in the router. If I hardwire to PC I do get the 200Mbps. That being said I paid a lot of money to upgrade my internet that does not work over 100Mbps.
