RBR750 connected device speeds lower than expected
I've got a new Orbi RBR750, 2 satelites. Was previously connected to Comcast internet, speeds of somewhere around 300 Mb (can't recall exactly). Wifi devices connecting to the Orbi were getting around 200 Mb. Just upgraded our internet to 1GB fiber. The orbi's self-speed test is seeing just shy of 1 GB, upload & download. I've got a PC connected via Cat6 cable, which gets about 500-600 Mb/s download & upload. My 5G devices get from 100-200 Mb/s download, and faster upload (about double it's download 'score') while I'm in the same room as the main router, with excellent connectivity. I have already rebooted the Orbi main router, as well as checked for firmware update--no update available. Any thoughts on why my device speed isn't faster? With 3 or 4 wireless devices + the wired PC, NOT currently streaming anything, I was expecting at least 500 Mb/s on my wireless devices. Is that an unrealistic expectation? Is there any way to increase the speeds I'm seeing?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.
