Orbi RBK43S Speed Very Low
This system has been reducing my speed more than it ever has. I have 500Mbps coming out of the modem, but as soon as the Orbi system is hooked up my speed won't go over 140Mbps. I've reset to default...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Factory reset the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard. This time, do not enable Armor or Circle. Go right in with a wired PC and Ooklas installable speed test app, do a speed test. I would also power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute then back on as well soon after you reset the RBR.
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://https://https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
