Just curious, you have not seen wireless backhaul connection rate between the RBS and RBR with 1733Mbps? I presume this would only be achived in near perfect conditions.

No.  I've not seen 1733Mbps in my current setup.  Here is what Orbi backhaul shows right now for the 2 Satellites:

    Whats the distance between the RBR and RBS? 

    Probably distance, environmet and building materials will be a factor in not seeing 1733Mpbs I presume.

      Distance is roughly around 50ft to 60ft to each Satellite respectively.  I might get higher backhaul linkrate with line of sight, but it's not practical given the walls in betweeen nor it's likely going to make much of a difference for daily use.  As long as I don't hear/get a complain about disconnect/slow WiFi speed, 250Mbps-500Mbps with full WiFi coverage/range is good enough.

        Ok. Sounds good. Ya, I think 1733Mpbs needs line of site and near perfect conditions. Building materials and distance will be a factor.

         

        Keep the home happy. 

         

        Enjoy. :smileywink:
