you mean 115Mbps and 10Mbps right ?
with what device where you getting that on router wise
as i have 100Mbps down and 40Mbps up internet wise and i can get that on any device anywhere in my home as long as im connected to the 5 gig band of the orbi and my device is also connected to 5 gig
you may want to check the device you are using hasnt connected to the 2.4 gig band

You are correct, it is Mbps not GB's, sorry.
Last night I left the Orbi running and this morning was supprised when I ran a speed test. My MacBook Pro using the Orbi's wi-fi was getting 114/12Mbps! I switched to the Arris router, supplied by Spectrum, using 5 gig wi-fi and was getting 60/12Mbps. I then when to my Mac desktop which is hardwired and was getting only 38/12Mbps??? I switched to wi-fi using the Orbi's wi-fi and was getting 115/12Mbps.
This makes no sense to me?? I am totally confused now!
