What is the maximum intranet (intra-home) speed from one RBK50 to another without an Ethernet backhaul? I would like to buy three of these, connect a master to my cable modem (and several other devices) and the other two connected to devices in other rooms. What I'm specifically trying to determine is the maximum sustained intranet client-to-client file transfer speed, which I would to be as close to 1GB Ethernet...but without the wires.
Any insight? Thanks in advance!
To answer your question directly, I have measured 500 to 575 Mbps throughput between the Orbi router and the Orbi satellite, across the dedicated wireless backhaul. The transfer was between two wired PCs--one on the router and the other on the satellite. That was with the Orbi devices on separate floors of the home, so this represents a typical installation. One might achieve more throughput if the devices were within line of sight, but that would not be a typical installation.
