Low wired network speeds via RBS50
I have an RBR50 with 2 RBS50s running V2.7.4.24. The Sattelites are connected via wifi to the Router. I have my Macbook Air M1 and a Synology DS418play both connected to one of the RBS50s via e...
I'm not aware of any feature to show satellite interface stats on the web admin page. Have you tried connecting your MBA and DS to your Router's Ethernets and seeing what transfer rate you get there? Also are both satellites giving the same result?
Also are you quoting speeds in mbps or mega bytes (MB) per sec? Factor of eight difference.
I wonder if the Ethernet to Ethernet transfer rate on a satellite switch fabric is somehow slugged or influenced by the maximum WiFi uplink throughout. 2.4GHz is limited to 400mbs and 5GHz to 866mbps.

That distinction may be the issue. The disk speed test is quoted in MB/s. This is a facepalm moment for me.
So that 100 MB/s speed translates to 800mbps which I guess puts this into Gigabit territory. Phew!
On a side note though, its crazy that even Gigabit ethernet is barely close to the data speeds required for video editing.
Glad there was a simple explanation here 🙂
