RBK50 speeds issues and latest SW
Hi there
So, I have upgraded to Orbiz last FW.
I dropped the issue of speeds, because every 4-5 speed test , speeds are still drops to 600.
Now, upload for some reasom for 2 months is limit...
Let us know if you see any differences after the reset and setup from scratch.
What wireless devices are you using to wireless speed test?
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?
What WPA security modes are you using?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
2.4Ghz- Was auto- changed due to your advise to 11 Ch.
5Ghz- Configured to 36 Ch because it is "closest" on the scale. The 5Ghz analyzer seems no other nets in the range.
WPA2 PSK (AES)
Beamorming and MIMO were disabled, I thought they lowered my speeds, just enabled them again.
During the writing of this comment I enabled, and speed test and they did indeed lowered the speeds.
So what is checked here is only
Daisy Chain (allows faster perfomenance)- got 1 Sat only.
and Fast Roaming.
Where/ How do I set the 20/40Mhz to 40Mhz only, it just let you check the box or not, without option to select anything else.
IPV6 and Traffic Meter are diabled by default.
Let me know if I corget anything here
Try with out MIMO. Beamforming shouldn't effect speeds.
