Orbi RBR 20 - Download speed lies
Hey, I've got an RBR 20 and a satellite. Live in a very small apartment in NYC. Am having an issue where I test the internet speed through the Orbi app and it says maxing out at 480mbps, but then...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
