Orbi RB50 very slow speed (both wired and wireless)
First off, my apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but I searched the threads and could not find anything that matches my issue exactly. I am on my second Orbi system in the pa...
I appreciate the suggestions, but after trying that plus a dozen other things (including swapping wires, changing parameters, loading old & new firmware), I had zero success. I put in Orbi and my download speed (connected) is still around 5 Mbps. I swap out my old D-Link router and I get 275 Mbps. Total garbage. Return #2 and will try Eero now.
Oh yeah, and it stopped being able to find my satellite and the phone app stopped working with a message saying my router model wasn't supported. If it were the first one then I would be more forgiving but seeing as I already returned it once before for another set of problems, I'm done.
I too am having the exact same problem. Your entire set up is the exact same as mine. Both wired and wireless are giving slow speeds. I cant keep resetting this every day just to get it to get back up to 4-500. I am on my second Orbi that netgear replaced for me. I bought this via Amazon and I cant return it because its past their date.
How did you get a return? Did netgear refund you? Also, did you go to a new set up? and is it working? I need to look for something that works and your set up is the same as mine, so if you found something that works, its likely my situation would work as well.
Any help you can provide would be great. Thanks!!!
