Orbi backhual connection attempt
I am generally OK with my Orbi it works alright, minor quirk but ok. I have a NAS connect to a Netgear R7000 which act as a bridge to the Main orbi wifi. It works but since the bridge is using the ...
Use a cable instead. Wireless where wireless belongs - to mobile devices. But not to connect a NAS.
Yes obviously cable is good but my wife would kill me for running cable across rooms, hence wireless bridge. I get a decent 250 mbps from the bridge but when factor in other wifi pulling from that same front hual I get down to like 100 mbps still enough to streams but annoying when transfer files.
- Move NAS (and Orbi) to a different place where a short cable is feasible - and keep your wife happy.
- I appreciate this. Obviously it cross my mind but this is more of a tech puzzle and trying to understand Orbi system more. I am asking for any tech savvy person to comment. I know I could buy another satellite but what would be the fun of that.?
