ORBI RBR50 and RBS50 Speed issues
So incredibly frustrated at this point having spent 2 days now trying to diagnose a problem with my Orbi System. Facts: - Entire house is cabled with Cat5e. All runs tested and capable of 1GB ...

- Wifi bandwidth to base unit from all ios devices is about 234 MBS down
- Wifi bandwith to satellite from all ios devices is about 95 MBS down
- Computer desktops (2) to base unit via ethernet is about 95 mbs
I have checked everything throughout the network and all is good. Why hardwired desktops are limited to 95 mbs is not clear to me at all. Neither is it clear to me why the hard wired satellite is slow as well.
The IOS devices connecing to satellites could be due to distance and channel interference or maybe you need to forget the networks on the IOS devices and re-connect.
Also check these settings:
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
First thing that comes to mind on the desktops, that are wired, is either the cable is cat5 or the NIC has limits and may be 100Mbps cards.
