Orbi NETGEAR genie

Curious,  after three days with Orbi, I found on NETGEAR genie under WIFI Connections the program WIFI ANALYTICS.   When I run the program HOME TESTING, I can't do any better than -50 (Good).  Speed Test show same 25/5 speed, same as hard wired desktop, but I would of thought that the meter would show better than -50 (Good) and more towards BEST.   Channel is 48 which is recommended as well as 6.  The system works great, but I thought the numbers would be higher even when next to the router or satellite.

  • Interesting, In the Analytics screen for mine I get -35 for a signal. 

     

    I wish they would update the programs and come out with something really cool that is specific for the Orbi but... probably not going to happen.
