Orbi RBK53 - Performance
Dear all, I have installed a RKB53 on the weekend. The performance is pretty slow on the satellite(s). On the router I have a speed of 600Mbit/s and on the Satellites, I have only 160. I ha...
Thanks again FURRYe38 CrimpOn ekhalil tucsontico !
I have put now the router on the first floor, use a CAT6-Cable from the modem to the router and the performance is more or less ok.
The router get 600 Mbit/s, the 6210 Wifi stick (6 feet away) get 300 Mbit/s.
On the satellites on the other floors I get 150 Mbit/s.
It´s not what I had await from the Orbi, but I can live with it.
Best regards,
Franz
Thank you very much FURRYe38 and tucsontico !
At first I will make a factory reset. I was not aware, that I have to do it after the FW-Update (2.3.5.30). And I will change the channels if the reset will not have an impact.
May this will already help.
Thank you again for the useful information!
Best regards,
Franz
Normally one shouldn't have to do a reset, however with Orbi we find that some users need to. Still a mystery. Resets do help though.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
Thank you again tucsontico and FURRYe38 !
Anyway, nothing has worked. I have reset the Router and the satellites, I have changed the channels (several times) enabled/disabled Daisy chain etc., ... nothing.
I placed the Router on the first floor and used a LAN-Cable. On the router I have 600Mbit/s and 10 feet away I have only 300Mbit/s on the 6210 WLAN-Stick. On the next satellite I have only 150Mbit/s.
I guess, that there is nothing what I can do else.
Thank you again and best regards,

- In the Orbi app, do you see both Satellites connected to the Router in a star configuration or to each other in a daisy chain configuration?
- Have you tried to disable Daisy Chain (uncheck the option)? If your Satellites are close to each other then enabling Daisy Chain will make Satellites also broadcast backhaul channel and interfere with the backhaul transmission from the Router. Please uncheck Daisy Chain to get rid of this interference
- Please do a Wifi scan and see which channel is being used for the wireless backhaul. You should see the backhaul as a hidden network with no SSID. Check if that is a 2.4 or 5 GHz channel and if it’s using 20, 40 or 80 MHz bandwidth. Check also if that channel is being used by your neighbors.
Thak you ekhalil !
The configuration depends, where I have placed the satellites (I have tried a few positions). Sometimes as star, sometimes as daisy chain. I have tried Daisy Chain enable and disable. Always the same result.

How can I do this? External programm or can I already do it with the Orbi-App or the Genie-App?
Thank you and best regards,
