Orbi RBR50V2 Wifi Speed 450Mb/s Max versus Internet Fiber Speed 950Mb/s
I bought these devices while still using an ADSL connection, which was reaching 30Mb/s max at its best times. Now my provider orange installed the Optic Fiber at home and measured speed is superior ...
Hello CrimpOn,
Thanks for your suggestion, you are completely right, and I should have thought about it.
Of course WiFi must be considered as half duplex. Then speed measurements are understandable.
I am definitely using them as Access Point.
Regarding the "unstability", Netgear support advised me to use fixed IP addresses, rather than relying on my DHCP (even assigned slots) server.
This is great then, all the Orbi devices, Router AND the two satellites, always got the same IP prereserved in the DHCP Server.
However, I wonder about DHCP Lease Time, which is 1200mn = 20Hours, at this time the devices MUST renew their IP from the DHCP server, and THEN may cause a glitch to the connection Orbi RBR50 and Satellites....
What do you think?
Extra question, I found in the Web interface of router how to set up a fixed IP, but can't find anything for the satellites. Any idea?
Regards to all
JMA
