My RBR50 slows WiFi download speed about 15%
I recently installed a RBK53 with my Macintosh system (OS 10.12.6) and upgraded the Orbi to the latest firmware. The internet is supplied via my local cable company through an ARRIS TM822 cable modem...
I poked around on the net and found out what WMM is, particularly with respect to the Orbi. A screen shot of my settings is attached. Looks as if it's configured as it should be. In poking around in the Advanced Settingd I found an internal SpeedTest button. The test results when I clicked it were 9.84/1.27 and 9.47/1.28. Running SpeedTest from my Desktop with the SpeedTest app produced 8.48/1.02. This SpeedTest showes 10.0/1.0 when I use the Ethernet cable connection.
Any thoughtds of what, if anything I might do, to boost the WiFi speed as indicated by the SpeedTest app?
What wireless device are you using to test speeds with.
Wireless will always never be as good in performance as wired connections. Many variables to wireless that can see inaccurate results...
