Orbi AC3000 vs 2nd gen Xfinity pods
Hey all, I have been reading the forum for a bit trying to find my answer but I thought I would just pose it directly. I had previously been running and Netgear CM 1000 (bought 7/2019) and Orbi AC...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Where in the home is the RBR located? In the basement as well? If so, basements are not good locations for the wifi router.
How are you testing speeds? Wired or wireless? Wireless caps out at around 400-500Mpbs depending on device hardware support. Wire ethernet cable you should see 800Mpbs. Orbi 50 series supports near 900mpbs or just a bit over.
3148sq ft is listed but that doesn't include the basement which is where the gateway and router are right now. maybe 4000sq ft
