Orbi Speed Issue wired and wireless
I have used a Netgear nighthawk for the past couple of years and was pleased. We started to have some issues with the old router so I thought I would upgrade to the newer Orbi system about 3 w...
I had this issue too - switching the Orbi system to AP and using a cheap router seemed to do the trick.
Josh, thanks that is something I have not tried yet, but have what I need to do so today. How long has your system been up an running with this set up?
One of the more disappointing issues for me, is that Netgear has still never responded to my inquiry for support. Of course, if I can fix it this easily, then I don't need them.
I appreciate the suggestion. This will likely be my last attempt with Orbi.
This seemed like a fix, then it went it down hill a little bit ago. Frustrating as the potential is definitley there with the system
I finally got a response from support. They had me try the following.
Under advanced- setup- WAN setup- change MTU size from 1500 to 1450
Advanced- Advanced setup- wireless settings uncheck enable daisy-chain topology
Change the 2.4 band from auto to channel 6.
This has worked for the past couple of hours.
Also, while looking at the logs under administration, I see DoS attacks IP Spoofing from source is my Orbi Satellite. Is this a bug?
Well, I finally found a solution that is stable, provides great signal coverage and better speed.
I bought an Asus RT-AC5300.
I really tried with the Orbi, but nothing seemed to fix it. The Asus is on day 3, no issues at all.
A shame, the Orbi has great potential if you can get it to work reliably. My old Nighthawk was fantastic. I'm sure that Netgear will eventually get this platform ironed out. I just can't keep waiting around for that day and Netgear's support was very disappointing. Hope you never need it.
