The RBR with the satellite powered off are about 118 mbps. I obtained these speeds via Iphone and computer that is wired directly.
I did try using channels 1, 6, and 11 on 2.4 ghz. I live where everyone is on 1 acre parcels. I do see that there is WiFi signals from my neighbors, but the signals are very weak.
I did try enabling Beamforming. I did not find any options for MIMO. WMM was already enabled. I noticed no changes in my WiFi.
I disabled the Daisy Chain. The Fast Roaming was already disabled. I switched IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. I saved the settings and rebooted the router and satellite. After all this, my satellite now no longer connects to the router. I have spent all day yesterday trying to get it to connect.
