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, l...
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,
Thank you for providing additional details about your network layout!
Please disconnect all devices from your Freebox then connect only the Orbi then test the network speeds. If the network speeds are desirable then connect the other devices one by one.
If you would like all devices to be able to communicate with each other then you would need to have your Freebox Pop in router mode.
Changing the mode of your ISP router will not have an effect on network speeds.
What firmware is your RBR20 currently on?
Best,
Kevin
