I’m using the router that Spectrum provide me that also supports or home phone. I’m using Speedtest by Ookla. The Orbi router is getting 450download but the satellites are much slower. I have one satellite in my living room with my Apple TV hard wired because the WiFi speeds are so slow. The Apple TV gets 450 download because it’s hard wired. Both satellites seems to be slow sometimes and faster other times. When I say slow they are giving me 5-25 download. Does that help?
A little.
1. What firmware is on them?
2. How far apart are they?
3. What is this spectrum box? model number help more.
4. What is your house materials?
5. Are you using any traffic monitoring, qos, parental controls, disney circle, armor, etc?
6. Slow sometimes and fast other doesn't tell me much. The orbi's do band steering so they place your devices on 2.4ghz or 5ghz depending on a series of factors. 2.4ghz is much slower but penetrates better. 5ghz has much higher bandwidth but doesn't transmit as far or through as much. When its slow, what band is that device connected to?
7. Is there much wireless interference in your are? If you do a wireless channel scan, how many networks are in the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands?
