ORBI RBR40 with two satellites slow speeds
Network speed at router tests at 450+ Mbps which is consistent with my service. Throughtout home whether I'm next to router or one of two satelittes speed maxes out around 45 Mbps. Devices tested are MacPro laptops running Catalina and multiple iPhone 8s with latest release. Worked fine until my support contract expired. Is this the way they get you to pay for support?
