Orbi RBK50 (1+2) Wifi Performance
I bought my RBK50 (1 Router + 2 Saterlites) from Costco, I noticed the wifi performace is inconsisitant from website to wbsite. General speaking, most of websites can be accessed normally via wifi/wi...
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Try using ISP DNS instead of Google.
Try using different browsers, IE11, FF and Opera.
Test to see if you notice same issues on different devices. Happens with all?
Not all web sites are the same.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.

WHAT? Enabled is Disabled? Where did this "mention" come from?
IT was mentioned early on when v210 first came out. I though I had the original link however I have lost it now.
This was another.

For now, it's something to keep on the troubleshooting plate. It's either enabled or disable.
