Orbi Triband question

Will this router split up the incoming bandwidth to make little, carved up dedicated bandwidths for each device? If so will this increase or decrease my overall WiFi speed?

    hi

     

    im not exactly sure what you are asking but as far as i know there are no bandwidth limiting features on the orbi so what you are asking for isnt possible

     

    you actually wont find actual bandwidth limiting capability on many stock firmwares apart from asus routers , gargoyle firmware cab also do bandwidth limiting on some routers but its not available for the orbi

     

    standard QOS doesnt do bandwidth limiting as its just a priority based on demand system that cant and doesnt normally do as you want

     

    -----------------------------

     

    to the second part of your question what do you mean by improve your overall WiFi speed ? are you talking about speed of the internet or speed of your actual sync to the orbi system
