ORBI RBR50 w/ 2 RBS50 Satellite issues:
I have an Orbi RBR50 daisy-chained with 2 RBS50 satellites. Neither satellite is connected by ethernet cable. Only wifi. Connections from the Router to Satellites are 5G and GOOD. Is it normal that w...

This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopPlease disable ALL wifi radios on the upstream router...Give one of the above suggestions a try.
Orbi is in router mode. Recently got a new Spectrum setup although these issues existed prior. The Spectrum router is broadcasting a signal but nothing is connected to it. Again, prior to this equipment I had no router between and had same slowness issues at satellite.
RBS are connected to RBR by 5G signal. No hardwire. I suspect this may be the issue and could be considered normal? That’s what I need answered. Why are my SAT speeds 1/2 than the speed at the router (wirelessly).

- Many thanks for your help. The ISP router signal competing with my Orbi was the culprit. My old setup was a Modem/Router combo in bridge mode. It was probably causing the same issues.
I’m getting 220 at the router. 190 at SAT1 30’ away and am getting 150 at SAT2 40’ away from SAT1. Daisy chain mode.
I can live with this.
Many thanks, Glad you got it working better. Enjoy. :smileywink:
