Link rate incorrect when device connected to Orbi satellite
Hi everyeone - Recently while doing some WiFi troubleshooting with the Orbi system, I was noticing some inconsistencies with the Link Rates showing for my devices when connected to the RBW30 Orbi...
Ensure the RBWs FW is up to date. Check NGs web page here:

You can manually download and apply FW updates yourself, if needed.
Try a different device to compare if you can.
IF you try a factory reset on the RBW and readd it to the system and the app still shows same link rate value, I would post about this in the Orbi AP forum:

Tech nerd here, so I check for firmware updates regulary on most of my electronics. Both Router and Satellite are both up to date with their firmware. I've done a reset on the Satellite, re-added it as well as relocated it just to see if there was any other type of glitch. I'm seeing this incorrect Link Rate for all 2.4 / 5 Ghz devices to the Satellite, but all to the Router seem correct.
I can't really see the "Link Rate" from the Orbi Web Interface, pretty lack luster, so can't really confirm if this is an app or Orbi device issue.
I would make contact with NG support about this. Possible app and RBW issue in regards to link rates coming in from the RBW.
