RBK50 - Speed Issues with ROGERS internet - under 20mbps on wifi
Having enormous trouble with my wifi speed on my Orbi mesh RBK50 and satellite. In the advanced settings I clock near 65mb download. If I check direct with speedcheck in a browser it registers arou...
Hi again. So some of the above is advanced for me. Here is what I have;
ROGERS modem. Upstairs West corner of house. Set on different SSID. Set on Chanel 6. It provides coverage upstairs.
ORBI base unit. Basement. Hardwire LAN cable from ROGERS unit. Running different SSID. Set on Chanel 1. One hardwire LAN running to Xbox. Main unit provides solid coverage in basement and main floor West side of house.
Satellite is on Far East side of house and provides a wired connection to TV and signal for kitchen/family room.
The ROGERS unit can’t cover the house and neither can the ORBI. But the speed on the ORBI are awful. In the 16-20Mbs range when using Speedtest on a wifi connected device. The ORBI app shows à strong(ish) 60Mbs internet speed into the hub.
There must be some configuration error I have....sorry for being a bit slow on the more technical stuff.

It would be best to disable the wifi on the Rogers router and use only the Orbi wifi. Having more wifi in the near by surrounding to compete with Orbi wifi can cause problems and is not recommended.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
