Not getting a strong 5ghz signal from Orbi
I have an Orbi pair with RBR50 and RBS50. The Guest wifi is booming through at 5GHz but the private wifi seems to be weak in areas. Having done some analysis it seems as though one of the units isn...
Your results look strange. Wherever you were when you made this measurement, you were seeing very weak signals on 2.4 GHz for both the router and your satellite. That would indicate poor coverage in that test location. Yet, you show -46 for the guest on 5 GHz. That doesn't make sense at all.
I'd suggest moving positions and repeat the measurement. If you suspect one of the units is not broadcasting one of the SSIDs, then move close to that unit and test.
Also, you should only be using channels 1, 6, or 11 for 2.4 GHz, so I'd recommend changing channel settings there as well.
Also make sure you have your transmission rate set to 100% for the 5ghz. You can do this in advanced settings
