RBR40 and Macbook Pro 16 5G connectivity slow and unpredictable
I have RBR40 with two RBS20. 5G to the RBS20 from my Macbook Pro 16 is very good but to the RBS40 which sits literally 5 feet away from the laptop is pathetic. My RBR40 firmware is V2.6.2.104. ...
Thank you for the quick response. I have tried toggling either and both settings. But i never seem to get a higher Tx Rate than 54mbps and that is the root of the problem.
Could this be a hardware issue?
Yes, 54Mbps would me an issue. You should be seeing some where the 700-800 range. 866Mbps max.
Is the mac book connected near the RBR or RBS?
What OSX version are you using?
The mabook is 5 feet away from the RBR. As soon as i move it close to the RBS on another floor of the house, it connects at 400 something Mbps. So i wonder what is the 5G settings on the RBS as compared to the RBR. Unfortunately the console does not show me much details about the sattelites even when i connect directly to them.
I am running Catalina 10.15.7.
