Orbi WiFi Slow Nvidia Shield

I get 200 MG down with my laptop but only 10-20 down with Nvidia Shield in the same room. I have not yet been able to hook to ethernet yet to verify those speeds. I am closer to the base router than the satellite and connected at 5g. It is usable for streaming but the reduced speed is curious.

    If laptop is getting the expected speed then router should be fine. Kindly check if NVIDIA Shield has an update available. Was this working before?

      Thanks. Shield updates automatically. I have found some router settings to try for when I get back to that location. Considering adding MoCA. Very happy with Orbi in all other cases.
