Issues connecting HEOS systme with RBR50
Hello, I've been having issues keeping my HEOS system on my Orbi network. I called HEOS and they recommended upgrading the router. My question is this... if I upgrade the router to AC2200 will the ...
N600 is 300Mbps UP and Down connection rate between older generation routers and client devices on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz N mode. Todays newer generation routers are 600Mpbs on 2.4Ghz N mode and 866-1300Mbps on 5Ghz AC mode. Not sure who at HEOS your talking to however whom ever said this may not be giving you accurate information or fully understand todays wifi routers. :smileyfrustrated:
The Orbi can fully support this music system I believe.
what is thie HEOS system? A device or IoT?
The Orbi is a newer generation router which has only been out for a bit over 2 years. Still a good system and getting fw updates. The RBR50 is a AC3000 system and an AC2200 system is similar however it's backhaul is limited to 866Mb where the 50 series has a 1700Mb wireless backhaul. The AC2200 would be in part a downgrade in router system.
HEOS is a wireless music system
When I talked with HEOS support they said the router needed to be at least N600. I am not sure what that means. Is the RBR50 at least N600?
