Orbi RBR50 - VERY SLOW client speeds

Let us now how this goes. A reset should help here. Also try some of the other suggestions.

I've had this installed for a week or so and I'm seeing VERY SLOW, and VERY INCONSISTANT speeds even with line-of-sight and almost any distance.  Please let me know if you've seen this problem, or know a fix. I'm about to give up and get something else.

 

I've tested several locations but the best example of the problem is this test...

@ 30ft open air, line of sight

Orbi signal strength (PC web page) shows connected on 5Ghz @ 100% signal

WifiMan android app shows 5Ghz @ -59dBm (connected), 2.4Ghz @ -41dBm  BUT only shows 14 to 27Mbps speed!

... I've seen speeds as low as 7Mbps, high as 175mbs, usually 45-60 mbps range.  Speed Jumps around every few seconds and changes can be drastic but the dBM stays steady between 58 to 60dBm

... same speeds testing with the Orbi app and WifiMan app

 

Neighbor Houses are spread apart so very little, it any, channel interference. Most channels have no neighbors on at all.

 

For example, the test above  using Wifiman app, only shows 1 SSID on 2.4Ghz at the client location, at -83dBm. No 5Ghz overlaps at all, the only 5Ghz radio is on channel 155 when mine is on 42

 

Here's my specs...

Hardware Version RBR50
Firmware Version V2.5.1.8
Operation Mode AP
Region North America
2.4G Channel Auto ( 9 )
2.4G Mode Up to 400 Mbps
5G Channel 36+40+44+48(P)
5G Mode Up to 866.7 Mbps

Advanced settings:

Enable Beamforming

Enable Fast Roaming
Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings
