Slow web browsing - pulling my hair out! RBK53 **Help**
Hi All - I installed the above Orbi router and 2 sataligts in my bungalow. They are in direct line of sight, R/S/S about 10m apart. Have the router connected to a Archer MR200 4g router (via network ...
I have the exact same RBK53 system. When I set mine up, I followed the textbook install through the app. Then I turned on MIMO, Beamforming, daisy chain and QOS. My speeds are incredible.
You say you had multiple switches and routers throughout the home? Can you wire your satellites, as there may be too much interference between the Orbi RBR50 and the RBS50 satellites. My system is wired backhaul because there is some distance between each node.
Thanks for the feedback - I did the set up the same... I have removed all the other Wifi switched and routers and even switche of th wifi from the main 4g router to reduce any interference... Hard wiring the Satalights may not be a bad idea, ad i could put them all in the lift. In theory though, i shouldnt need to... Everything on the app is green and good... When i say ots slow, The HD TV streams well, and my son is playing his online games at the same time with no issue, the problem is just when you open an internet browser to surf the web, there is a lag, (big lag) for pages to open.... sometimes you can waite ages, hence with i looked at the DNS... Its just odd that it doens occir on the PC thats hard wired to the router.... I only have 1neighbours so its not like there is any traffic interefering...
When you say you set the QOS, How exactly did you do this? I can the tick box for multimedia streaming, but cant find anying on QOS..... anywhere!

Maybe tthe browser needs refreshing or maybe the PC is just not getting a good WIFI connection. Check your WIFI channels to make sure you are on an optimum channel with less traffic. If I remember correctly your internet speed is slow to start with. That can play a huge role when other devices are using the same bandwidth.
QOS = orbilogin.com - advanced - wireless settings - "Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings"
Thanks - Yes, got that one enabled, (Tried on and off) -
Whats interesting, is if i switch the Orbi off, and just run off the wifi on the 4g router, the speeds are instant for loading webpages... As soon as i run the orbi network, the up and down speed are the same, but the browsing (opening websites) just grinds to halt... I have tried running 2 differnt $g routers, and the smae issue persists... It must be something to do with the wifi on the Orbi.. I know the apple laptops dont "travel well" in that they dont auto switch between the different satalites, it this pain is on all devices, even sitting next to the router... Looked at the wifi anlyser, and the channels are completly clear... clealy something is going on with it....

Now I'm confused. So you are saying you still have your router's, not RBR50, WIFI enabled?
Please exaplain your setup from ISP to RBR50
