poor wifi performance of Orbi RBK20 (max 12MB/s)
Hi all, I intensively tested the RBK20 orbi and the real performances are lower than expected. The system is set as AP, the master and the satellite are connected via ethernet, the tests were perf...

Just a guess here. Given RBK20 fronthaul @866Mbps, which is half of RBK53 backhual @1733Mbps, if you can get close to 20MB/s, that would be reasonable. Based on a similar test I did on RBK53 via its backhaul @1733Mbps, the peak ~40MB/s. If your wired client could get 30-50MB/s, that's also within the ball park of my test because my wired client could hit ~90MB/s. Check out this post for more details.
You can also verify if you hit Orbi peak performance by replacing Orbi with an exisitng WiFi router if you have a spare one lying around or turn on WiFi on your exisitng router if it's a combo.
i have no qos settings in ap mode
only set i found is WMM (wifi multimedia) and it is enabled
I turned off the router but it makes no difference,
I did all the tests on the LAN that is connected to a switch, they don't go through the router
but in theory which would be the maximum tranfer rate through an orbi ?

QoS on your main router. The non-orbi device. it might not be called qos.
How old is the orbi? have you ever had issues with it before?
I know mine can hit 350-450mbps over wireless fairly reliably.
router is connected to uplink of the switch and don't manage connection inside the lan
i use an indipendent DHCP/DNS server
450mbit/s -> around 50MB/s, i am so far
