ORBI CBR40 using Comcast Xfinity 75mbps only getting 45mbps speeds
Hello All, recently upgraded to Xfinity internet 75MBPS . connected via CBR40 , i currently have 2 sattelites RBS 20 and RBS 50. 1 story 2300 SQ ft house. im not getting the advertised speed. onl...
i think i may have solved my problem
1) did a physical reboot of router, let devices connect to router
2) after 1 hour, turned on 1st sattelite.
3)after 2nd hour turned on 2nd sattelite.

thanks for the reply, i will try this as a solution when i get home. also since there are 2 sattelites, should i be messing with the power *25%,50%,75% on the 2.4ghz or 5ghz band.
the main thing that bothers me i guess is i paid for a 75mbps speed and sometimes it connects at that speed and sometimes slower... for refercence the previous ISP was a 50 mbps and was consistent at 45mbps speed throughout the house even w 2 sattelites. ( i changed ISP due to cost )
also would it help if i did a physical reboot of the router??
A reboot (or power off and back on) can't hurt. In the "old days", we used to do that once a week "just because."
My Orbi has been turned on for 94 days.
My memory is that internet speed varies depending on load. Fastest when everyone was away at work and slowest when they all came home and began to "stream".
the app reboots i have been doing and does not work. What im thinking is doing the physical reboot where it re sets the software to original. ill report back if this is succesfull (or should i even try this if i already did the app reboots)
