Orbi Not Giving Half the Speeds Even
Our Orbi has not been giving even half the speeds we pay for for months now. I had multiple calls with tech support and they have not been able to fix it either. It worked once at full speed for abou...
For me I can get full speed if im standing directly next to my router orbi and I reset my wifi on my phone to make sure its connected to the router. Then and only then can I get my full 400+ and I have to be standing directly next to it. My PC doesnt have wifi so I have the ethernet plugged into my satellite. Through my satellite I get at MAX 200. I've tried just about everything. Reseting, moving locations, changing settings and channels. Nothing works. I ran through all the suggestions yesterday from the previous posts in this forum and my speed went from 140->200 but thats still just half my speed. And when I woke up this morning it was back to 130-140...
I should note.. i'm 5ft eyeline from them (i try them individually).. RSSI is -30s for all except the 2 rbr50s which both do -50s.. same channels, same distance.. New pro just arrived.. rssi is -34.. same spot.. speed is full... something is very.... off with just these rbr50s (the satellites are rbs50s.. and are fine)

So you are saying the satellites are performing well and the Orbi RBR50 is not?
How far away are the satellites from the RBR50?
It is a figure of speed when you said "off with just these rbr50s", meaning you only have 1 RBR50?

i can run the rbs50s as aps (they apparently do that when not paired to a router.. neat).. i have 2.. both give me a rssi in the -30s (good).. both rbr50s (also 1 at a time),.. both stock and voxell, same results.. -59ish rssi.. speed < 100Mbps after a factory reset, < 200 with my known working config. (was full speed until this week).. one of the rbr50s i just got yesterday (literally) along w/ its satellite..
to make it easier... everything (running stand alone 1 by 1 _not all on at the same time_), same distance, same channel:
rbr50 #1: rssi -59, chan 36/48/64, tx rate switches between 171 and various others, speedtest < 100Mbps stock, ~150Mbps tweak config (stock latest fw and voxell)
rbr50 #2: rssi -58, chan 36/48/64, tx rate switches between 171 and various others, speedtest < 100Mbps stock, ~150Mbps tweak config (stock latest fw and voxell)
rbs50 #1: rssi -36, chan 36/48/64, tx rate 800s, speedtest > 200Mbps (stock latest fw and voxell)
rbs50 #2: rssi -36, chan 36/48/64, tx rate 800s, speedtest > 200Mbps (stock latest fw and voxell)
srr60 #1: rssi -34, chan 36/48/64, tx rate 800s, speedtest > 200Mbps (stock latest fw)
srr60 #2: rssi -36, chan 36/48/64, tx rate 800s, speedtest > 200Mbps (stock latest fw)
