Orbi Rbs50 satellite being slow
I have 400 mgb Spectrum internet speed and recently just had a tech come out to check on some issues I’ve been having. I can run speed tests at my main computer that’s hardwired to the orbi router and...
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

I have 400 mgb Spectrum internet speed and recently just had a tech come out to check on some issues I’ve been having. I can run speed tests at my main computer that’s hardwired to the orbi router and have speeds over 400. I have 3 satellites placed in 3 different rooms so I can hardwire into the satellites. They have all synced great and the tech was able to plug his device in and they all showed to have around 400. Problem is I’m running speed tests on the devices hardwired into the satellites and not even pushing 100mgb.
2 android fire boxes and my ps4 months ago used to run 300+. I’ve checked my firmware and hard reset everything several times. It says the firmware on all 4 is up to date. Any ideas anybody?
- First thanks for responding. I’ve had this equipment for 3 years now in the same place in the house and never had a problem. They still flash blue for good sync no problem. For giggles I did move my satellite about 15ft away from router and nothing changed. They are all 3 about 30-40ft away. I went through my advanced settings switched everything to like you recommended. Nothing different has happened there. I did play around but nothing seemed to help. I’ve had similar things like this happen and all I had to do was completely reset my whole system and re-register it again through Netgear and set it up again. Usually after a firmware update. But my biggest question now is the dynamic dns service. Every time I reset it would have me re-register it through NETGEAR and then set it up. Now that I’ve had it for a couple years it won’t let me use the dynamic dns service. Right now it’s running v2.3.5.30 and showing no updates. With everything I’ve read it could be a backhaul issue or firmware issue due to the armor shield which I did activate.
