New Orbi owner and i'm generally satisfied. I have a PC desktop wirelessly connected to the Orbi on the 5GHz band and when I was using my Asus RT-N66U, I would consistently see 20MBps (that's bytes) ...
WMM should be enabled all the time, regardless of media. This keeps the speeds good on wifi. It's mainly for troubleshooting if needed.
Daisy Chaing is for two or more satellites. You can disable it.

Since multi-media isn't of much interest to me, I figured turning it off would avoid any kind of QoS functionality (I had it turned off in my Asus) so I turned it off. That's when the xfer speed dropped considerably. I re-enabled it and suddenly I'm back to a reasonable rate. From what I can tell on the hidden web pages, QoS isn't even enabled - or maybe I'm misreading what I'm seeing. And file xfers should be in the background at lowest priority which is exactly what I don't want.
Re daisy-chaining: the Help states it only applies to a three unit system - I presume they mean three satellites but I could be wrong again!
