Orbi WiFi and PS4 using Wifi
Been running Orbi and the satellite for about three weeks now and have to say it is overall working extremely well in my 3100 square foot house. Just bought a new LG OLED TV so moved the gaming cons...
You could link Powerline from the Orbi to the destination, but the way I solved for this is to hardwire the PS4 into my Orbi satellite - giving wired speed and latency even over 5G backhaul.

Wish I could but not practical. Last resort I can move it back to second floor in the room with Orbi where it would be hard wired to router. Just ran a few more speed test. Pulled the Ps4 out of the cabinet thinking wood might be blocking signal and it was 17mbs. Put it back in cabinet and ran network test through PS4 and it was 50mbs. Seems to be all over the place. Will live with it as the XBox One S has hardware capability for 4K and UHD as well as the normal streaming.
Hello Rugby49
Have you tried with the latest firmware 1.4.0.16 this is a large update with alot of fixes I would suggest updating to see if you get better performance on your PS4.

Yes. Have the latest firmware. I will see how it goes for now. It has a connection. It is just a lot lower than I expected. When I run a speed test from my cell phone just about anywhere in the house now at the furthest point I am about 90mbs and in the room where the gaming devices are I am typically 125 - 130mbs. However on both the XBox One S and PS 4 when I check network details they connect anywhere from 9mbs to 50 mbs over wifi. Not sure how accurate the details are over console or why there would be such a difference.
