Orbi satellite to satellite connection is very slow
I have what I think is a very strange problem with a very slow connection between two satellite stations. I have a main station (RBR50) and two satellites (RBS50). The main and sat-1 are in the s...
The satellites prefer to connect back to the router versus daisy chaining.
And a lot can be program dependant.
Have you tried other programs or even just speedtested each satellite?
Thanks for the reply.
I’ve tried streaming video and opening/updating spreadsheets. Neither works well — buffering delays for video and long open/close times for the spreadsheets. With a cable connection everything is smooth and responsive.
I’d like to test the satellites but the only speed test I see is a test for the internet connection. How can it be done?

That'll test the backhaul between router----satellite
- My normal setup is a pc hardwired to each satellite. One pc acts as a data server and the other acts as a client. It’s not a true server/client arrangement — more like peer-to-peer with SMB shares.
How do you do the speed tests? And what is a reasonably good speed to expect?
