Orbi Speed isn't fast enough

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;I am on Time Warner/Spectrum and use their Ubee cable modem with my MacbookPro and Orbi systen.&nbsp;When I had an Apple Airport Extreme, I got 300mbps + speeds but it was unstable. Now that i have the two Orbi system, it's more stable but my speed caps out at 215mbps or so. TW says I should be getting higher speeds and I agree, but Netgear charges to resolve the issue (I'm in month 4 of my purchase), so I figured I'd get advice here. I'm sure it's some setting somewhere I need to check. How can I crank this up to get the optimal speeds available?&nbsp;Any help is appreciated, thanks.&nbsp;

hi the wan to lan speeds have been tested at&nbsp;tcp - 924&nbsp;udp - 406&nbsp;what method are you using to test speed&nbsp;have you tried disabling wwm

Is your MacBook Pro hardwired or wireless? I'm assuming wireless since you mention instability on the AAE. Running iperf between my router and sattelite I get about 350Mbps. However running iperf between the router and a Linux laptop I get around 200Mbps. Keep in mind the router has a floor and a lot of plumbing in between so the speed would be hurt by that.

Running it wirelessly. With my airport extreme I was getting over 300mbps, so I know it must be some setting...it's just&nbsp;netgear&nbsp;wants to charge a minimum of $49 even though it's a month out of warranty and has been happening from the get go.&nbsp;

Make sure implicit beam forming and mu-mimo are enabled. The settings are in advanced-&gt;advanced setup-&gt;wireless settings.
