Orbi Performance in AP Mode
Hi all, I am currently toying around the idea of using my Orbi system in AP mode. To be honest I do not need the router functionality other than the parental controls. My service provide uses ...
Simple answer. Throughput for wired and wireless connections should be the same in router or AP mode. Overall performance will be better in AP mode, and that is how you should configure Orbi, if you intend to use Orbi behind another router.
thank you.
may i ask if you have experienced this yourself?
i will defintley be testing it and see if there are any differences.

i have and in AP mode its better and thats because all its doing is wifi and not routing , any routing and or qos will effect performance no matter what you use
thats why i use the orbi for what its great at and thats whole home wifi and in ap mode
great
thank you
I have mine in AP mode as well, the googlefiber Box is doing the routing and Orbi in AP mode is handling only Wifi functions primarily so it's resources and processing power is mostly dedicated to wifi therefore better performance.
i am planning to buy the orbi 3 set but to put it on AP mode it will work good ? i can go ahad and buy it?
