Orbi RBK 50 Wifi too slow
I have 1gb internet speed. I changed my old rounter with RBK50. I noticed that the speed of wifi is too slow. I am getting around 40mbps download and 15mbps on upload. I tried to speed test on my des...
Can you find out what the Manufacture and model# of the ISP modem that the Orbi is connected too? Or is there just a wall LAN port connect point?
6-7Meters is too close between the RBR and RBS, 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Try turning OFF the RBS and test only with the RBR online.
You might do a factory reset and setup the RBR from scratch with a wired PC and web browser and make those changes as suggested. Speed test wired PC with speedtest.net first. Then wireless.
The modem model number is pr-500mi. orbi connected via LAN 1 using cat 6 cord.
When i tried to go beyond 7meters im getting Backhaul Status - POOR, even now. I have poor status

Ok, building materials concrete and metal or wood and such?
Set the RBS back to where you had good status.
Do you know if the ISP Modem has a built in router and wifi by chance? Searching brings up asian data for this modem and possible built in router...hard to tell.
Building material; wood
