RBR50 getting >300Mbs in but only ~70 Mbs out wired or wireless
We were getting Wifi speeds of >300Mbs out of our Orbi RBR50 & RBS50 with latest firmware (v2.7.4.24) from our Optimum Arris TM1602 modem until 3 weeks ago when the Wifi speed out from the Orbi drop...
We notice that all of our devices are connected at 2.4G even though they are 5G capable. Shouldn't they connect at 5G when we are 10 feet from the router? Is that usual or is our Orbi not selecting 5G for some reason.
The orbi doesn't steer them to the 5g. they (the phones/tablets/etc) move themselves based on their own roaming protocols.
Try turning wifi off and back on on the devices to see if they'll connect to the 5g
