ORBI RBR50 SLOW SPEED
Hello All, I am currently using Netgear Orbi RBR 50 which is connected to a Fiber Modem. The speed provided by ISP is 1GBPS. While i am getting around 980MBPS download and 500MBPS uploads using ...
Replies to your questions below:
Home Size - 2000 Sqft - Ground + 1 Floor
Material - Concrete / Cement
Location of Orbi - Primary on 1st Floor & Satellite on Ground. Distance around 20 Ft. They both are placed centrally on respective floors.
Wireless channels - I used netgear wifi analyser which suggested to move to channel 1. Which i have done by i dont see any imporvement. 5Ghz is on channel 40. Infact the speeds today are even worse. I am getting hardly 50MBPS on 5Ghz right below the router.
I get aroung 900Mbps hardwired to either the base / satellite.

See above, cement blocks wifi to an amazing extent. And floors tend to be worse than walls as they tend to be thicker.
