Orbi WiFi speed slow
Please help... I have the orbi rbk50 set up and was fine. However recently I have noticed the speed is slow. When I test in the orbi app it thinks it is 50mb but when I test on mobile I am getting abo...
Thanks for the reply... Not convinced that sonos is the issue now as unplugged them and still an issue. Sonos net channel is on 1 and orbi on 11. It is odd as when on WiFi speed test gives 11mb down and 17up....if it was interference wouldn't the up be affected? As wired I get 50mb down and 17up which is what is expected.
It must be something else or the orbi unit itself? It is like something is draining all the bandwidth on the wifi.

- When measuruíng the speed on mobile, do you know if the mobile is connected to 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz? The 5GHz gives more bandwidth. Switch off Wifi and switch back on to change the band.
- Is the device you use for measuring connected to the router or the satellite? Do you see a difference if the device is connected to the router or the satellite?
- Does restarting the router/satellite improves anything?
- What device do you use for measurement? An iPhone?
- Do you see any difference if you get closer to the router/satellite?
- When I measured the mobile was connected to 5ghz and was connected to the router. Seems to give a slight bit more when connected to the router rather than satellite but not much in it. Can get 20mb if I get right next to it but even that is no where near the 51 on wired and I used to get 50odd on wireless anywhere in the house! I am using android to measure.
Test with other devices if you can to compare.

I am using android to measure.- Tested with iPad and different android phone and still the same on all 3.
