RBR50: Playstation gaming on wifi EXTREMELY BAD
Problem: Playstation is lagging very bad, can hardly play. Orbi RBR50 (firmware v2.5.1.8) channel 2.4Ghz (I tried different channels, 1,6,11 etc..) back haul is on 5Ghz Residence is a two story...
- For my 2.4ghz I've tried channels 1,6,11
- ive rebooted/factory reset (brand new orbi)
- yes many neighbors (condo)
- PlayStation is wired into satellite. Router is on different floor.
- cable modem is 8yrs old Cisco .. I don't know the exact model.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Turn down the power on the RBR from 100% to 75 or 50%. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Gaming consoles have best performance if directly wired to the RBR.
Please find model# of ISP Modem.
