RBR20 - limiting bandwidth for a device
I have noticed that when my Samsung TV is streaming it shows in the orbs app as connecting at 650mb, and hence everything else is really slow. How can I limit the bandwidth that a device can use.

Orbi systems do not provide a mechanism to limit speed or prioritize devices.
However............
The Link Speed reported by WiFi devices has nothing to do with the amount of load they put on the network. Nada.
If the Samsung TV is sitting on a menu, not showing any video, how much data can it be using???
Streaming 4K video consumes about 25Mbs of data. (streaming lower resolution consumes much less).
