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...
Good morning,
Have now tried the AP mode. If I switch off the ROGERS wifi then the signal is so weak upstairs that devices seem to flip between 2.5/5Ghz and TV can’t get a strong signal for Netflix. I ran Speedtest in multiple parts of the house and despite the orbi router showing an internet speed of 55mb the device speed still sits under 20mbs.
There are perhaps a dozen neighbors with wifi I can see. House is approx 1200sq feet per level, 3 levels. Orbi router is hardwired into ROGeRs modem. Orbi satellite sits approx 35’ straight line distance from router.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Try setting the power output of the radios from 100% to 75 or 50%. Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless.
What devices are you using to speed test with?
Speed test with a wired PC connected to the base router.
