    Here are my test results from before and after the update conntected to the router and to the satalite. Not that it helps with your problem since mine is working without issue.

    nlrela,

    That is wired. I updated the Firmware to the latest, enabled QOS to eliminate Buffer Bloat and voila. Lower Buffer Bloat is what I was after. Wireless speeds across devices (Apple and Android, Tablet and phone) both are about the same speed. Wireless speeds were never that fast until I purchased the Orbi.
