RBR50 connection issues
Hi all, I have the RBR50 netgear router and 1 salellite. Lately I have been having several issues. Orbi drops from around 300mb to 50mb speed. Usually a reboot fixes the issue. I have sonic 1gb intern...
Reason for asking about the modem is to help you determin if thats a modem only or does it have a built in router and wifi already. This will determine if you can use Orbi in AP mode or not. If it's got a built router already, AP mode is possible on the Orbi. If it's a modem only, then AP mode can't be used on the Orbi.
My modem is a modem only. Also, I just rented 2 eero Pro 6 Mesh Routers from Sonic my internet provider. I am getting much better throughput all the way around. Even My Older Synology R2600 router was getting better throughput speeds. Both on wifi and Eithernet in the high 480s-500mbit on wifi and 900+ over eithernet. I thought that for the 200-350Mbit slower speed was that I had to much interferance from neighboring Wifi signals. Aparently that is not so.
