I am using the wired backhaul.
I am not sure if it is due to some hardware issue . any setting i should change to get better 5g signal from the satellite?
Try these settings:
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
If wired, what cable size was used, as wrong size can cause slow speed.
Tried using the settting remmended. Still got no luck on the 5G wifi. I could only receive a signal with -79dbm even if I am sitting next to the router.
I wonder if anything I could use to test the satellite 5G signal alone.. otherwise I may need to go for warranty
Your modem doesn't have wifi does it? Reason for asking about this earlier.
I recommend contact NG support and ask them for help on this. You may need an RMA on the RBS.
- Thanks
My modem does not have wifi
Probably i shouls go to RMA then
