Rbr40 wifi slow
I have rbr40 orbi. Firmware 2.7.3.22. When I connect lan cable to modem the speed is 400+ mbps. When I check speed in orbi app the max speed it takes is only around 90mbs. What could be the problem ...

The speed of wifi is only 90mbps.---what wired speeds do you get? Again, another key. Orbi's do bandsteering and 2.4ghz is much slower than 5ghz. So if you're speedtesting on a device connected to 2.4ghz, 90 mbps is actually pretty amazing. and what device are you testing on? a device with only a 1x1 antenna is going to have half the speed of a 2x2 antenna device.
