Orbi Satellite Speed 50% of Router Speed

My download speeds, as measured by speedtest.net are about 50% lower when using the satellites as opposed to the base router. Is this normal behavior? Any way to get speeds through satellites?

  • What speeds UP and Down are you getting at the router?

     

    Try ethernet backhaul?

     

    What FW version are you using?

    There is Beta available.

      I did a reboot of the router, then satellites. Seems to have worked and they are now consistent: Upload about 120 mbps, download 12 mbps. Will check further later. Thanks.
