Orbi RBR50 slowing speeds down
Hi. I have Comcast Internet with a brand-new Linksys CM3016 modem and a 250 Mbps package. When I plug my desktop directly into the modem via Ethernet, a Speedtest shows speeds that actually approac...
Thanks so much - switching the Ethernet cable between the modem and Orbi seems to have done it. I appreciate the help!
Good to hear you got it working.
I appreciate it!
But of course now that I've gotten the main Orbi working, I'm having issues with the satellite. I placed the satellite two floors away from my main Orbi (main one is in attic, satellite in kitchen) but pretty much directly on top of each other. However, my Wi-Fi speeds even right next to my satellite are ~30 Mbps (tested across three devices). I tried verifying that my devices were connecting to the satellite by unplugging it; when I did so, speeds dropped to ~12 Mbps.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Two floors apart might be too far. Try putting them closer together.
In my 3-floor house, I have the Orbi router and satellite both on the middle floor.
