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

CrimpOn , what apps do you use for wifi scanning on your Android device please? I've never used Androids. :)
My "Go To" Android WiFi analyzer is Wifi Analyzer 3.11.2 by Kevin Yuan. It has "the usual stuff" with graphs, lists of AP's, etc. My favorite part is the list of AP's shows the MAC address and channel of hidden AP's. That's how I know my Orbi is using channels 4and 48, and the hidden backhaul is on 4 and 157. There is another really cool one called WiFi Analyzer (capital F instead of lower case f) by Abdelrahman M. Sid. There's a nice HeatMap that I use on the tablet from time-to-time.
On Windows 10 I am really taken with WiFiInfoView from nirsoft, because waaaaay over on the right it shows the "Country Code" being broadcast.
