2 Questions:
1.While speedtest in the orbi app shows 90Mbps upload and 90Mbps download, when I check on speedtest app on the same android phone, it shows 15 or 20 Mbps. Why the disconnect in two values ?
2. Why does wifi backhaul status is showing as poor and how do I fix it ?
1) Your Orbi is conencted via ethernet to either your modem or internet router - you should always get the full speed of your internet connection from your Orbi router itself. It's not like the Orbi performs this speedtest over wireless.
2) Poor backhaul performance can stem from a lot of different reasons, which impact the reception of the wireless signals. Try moving your satellite around to find a better spot. There are also apps for Android and iOS which show you the current coverage of your wifi. You could just power off your satellite and use your phone to scout for a good place to put your satellite.
