Orbi connection
I have rbr50 with one satelites.
I have some strange (or maybe not) connection issues.
1: when i use my laptop to transfer files within my local network wirelessly, it will only get somewhere 5m...
Thanks for reply. i checked my setting, it seems the buttom three options i did not tick, so i just did it and applied, am going to give a try.
Will report back soon
And what about issue 1, I feel annonyed because of the slow transfer speed, though i can always connect my laptop wirely.
Is it possibly because of my laptop or orbi
I just tried the computer, it is still the same when i transfer date to my nas, at 43.
Do need to tweet any other settings.
I do not have other device connected to the satlate wiredly.
And, what is the speed, really, i should expect from both wirelessly or wiredly, locally.

Ideally you should expect speeds close to the following (for transmissions between devices) in Orbi depending on the radio conditions and the number of spatial streams (antennas) in the devices (look in the red box below as Orbi has only 2 spatial streams and up to 80 MHz wide channels):
Internet speed is dependent on the your ISP among other things and is usually much less.

My first part of the reply was for issue 1, so mainly you need to check your radio conditions to see why the wireless devices are not reaching their maximum capacity:
- Please make a wifi scan while your are in the vicinity of the satellite where you see bad wireless performance:
- See that the satellite is broadcasting 2.4 and 5 GHz band networks.
- Are there other networks using the same channels as the ones broadcasted by the satellite and note the relative power of those.
- Based on the result of your scan, please select the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels that are not or least used in your environment. Please set those channels in Orbi as follows:
