RBR 20 & Satellite slowness since the AP mode has been activated
Hello,
Since I have switched from Modem to AP mode, the performance of the devices connected to the RBR 20 router and his satellites (x2) has decreased.
It's more kind of very high latency, looking for a connection.
I don't know if the issue occurs when the device is connected to a satellite or the router, seems to be general, and all kind of connected devices are impacted (phone, laptop, IOT, etc...).
I've tried to restart/check firmware of all the ORBI devices, but doesn't fix it, do you any idea ?
Thank you
Hello Kevin,
Thank you for yours suggestions.
I've finally decided to buy a used NETGEAR RAX120 WIFI 6 Routeur to replace the ORBI system.
The latency and internet drop wa not acceptable.
Since I have recently installed Ethernet cable for my Gaming PC and Streaming box, I don't need some much bandwith capability on WIFI connection for the others devices of the house.
I will plug the 2,5 Gbit/s ISP connection to Multi Gigabits port of the routeur and connect the others wired devices directly on Ethernet port of the routeur.
I hope that the coverage range will be enough for my house, if not, I will ask for a refund.
Thank you for your help !

Hello verrnum,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are having latency issues with your RBR20 since changing to AP mode. If your ISP modem/router has integrated Wi-Fi please disable the Wi-Fi signal on your ISP modem/router.

- hello,
Thank you, the integrated WiFi is already
turned off.
It's disappointing, slower than in 4G.
The Orbi Router is connected to the ISP router, optical fiber, 2,5 Gbits/s...

RegardsHello verrnum,
Thank you for your response!
Please change your RBR20 to router mode then change the Freebox to modem-only mode.
