Orbi rbk50
I currently have an Orbi rbk50 hard wired to a c6300. The internet speed at my c6300 is over 100mbs. Using the orbi app, the speed on the Orbi is over 100mbs. The speed I am getting at my laptop and ...
Quick update.. I turned off the c6300 as a router and ran the setup process on the Orbi. The result was exactly the same. When I check the speed at the C6300(lan) hardwired to my desktop and the Orbi through it's app., I get over 100mbs. But when I use the speed test(ookla) on my devices I still get under 15mbs.!
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 when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? 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?
What WPA security modes are you using?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
