RBK50 - Slow speed on older devices
Hi everybody, I have a new Orbi system (RBK50), router + 1 satellite. My home has about 2000sq ft (total on 3 levels, basement + 2 stories). Router is in basement, satellite is on 1st floor at 28...

Try these settings on the Orbi
orbilogin.com
Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
Since you've done some of these already, do the ones you haven't.
Thank you for your fast reply, I tried all these and still no changes.
I also manually reflashed router firmware (as suggested by Netgear tech support), reset to factory defaults, still same speed as before.
Try forgetting the WIFI on each device, reset the network on each device by following the device's instructions on how to perform this. go into each device's WIFI settings and make sure they are set for optimum performance.
For instance:
Reset Network Settings - Samsung Galaxy Tab S
From the Home screen, navigate: Apps icon > Settings > Backup and reset.
Tap Reset network settings.
Tap RESET SETTINGS.
If applicable, enter the PIN, password, fingerprint or pattern then tap RESET SETTINGS again to confirm.

Tried this, still no luck.
Maybe a firmware issue ?
