Orbi: We really need separate SSID for 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz or speed is limited to less than 200 Mbps
TLDR: With Orbi, my 5Ghz capable devices are "forced" to connect to 2.4 Ghz most of the time, slowing down speed. Tested against 3 different routers and my 5Ghz capable can connect to 5Ghz network al...
There has also got to be some collisions etc of bouncing between satellites and router when you have 3 in a space that can be easily occupied by just the Orbi router. Maybe reducing the transmit power on the satellites can help but I doubt it since the coverage area is so small at 1200 sq feet and the router by itself capabale of handling 2000 sq feet.
Seperate SSID though means that the Orbi solution is not for the OP at this time.
Lots of computers and laptops on a small house. Maybe lots of those are stationary and 5ghz would be fine. In my testing I find 5ghz can be sometimes problematic for things like my mobile device since I am constantly moving in and around the house.
