Orbi RBK30 with NightHawk R8000
Hi. I just moved in recently to a 3-storey house and all this while I have a Netgear R8000 Nighthawk. i have around 200sqm of house and the Nighthawk can cover the entire house just that at the far e...
If your keeping the NH router as your primary router, I would run the Orbi router in AP mode since you don't need two routers on the same line.
Ensure that for NH and Orbi, set the channels on 2.4Ghz for farthest channels away from each other, so NH set for channel 1 and the Orbi set for channel 11. Same with 5Ghz. Keep channels farthest away from each unit.
Orbi should see 200mb wireless speeds. You may want to disable the wireless on the NH router temporarily and test with just the Orbi alone.
Any other wifi neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling Daisy Chain, MIMO and Fast Roaming and test.
- Thanks for the response.
I’ve tried the suggestions but didn’t work either. I got broadband speed of 200/20 (download/upload) and if I’m using the NH 5G I can easily get this speed but when I do the speed test for Orbi on AP and connected via Ethernet to NH, max is 20/20 only.
In terms of disabling Daisy, Mimo, do I disable this for both device because NH has mimo too and fast roam?
Thanks
