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 ...

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
Appologies - no.... My internet is sourced through a MR200 4g router.... This is connected to my Orbi, with the MR200 in bridge mode... With Orbi as my "home network and router" in this configuration, i have very slow weblage load time (but fast Streaming and online gaming). the only acception is one PC in the house, hard wired to the Orbi.
If i swith the Orbi off, and use the mr200 in "Router mode, with the wifi siwtched on - no speed issues ... (but ths coverage wont fill the house)
If i keep the MR200 in router mode and set Orbi to AP, problem still exisits... So Orbi is doing something somwhere, to dramatically slow down the web surfing.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Hi Furry - very good point - no it hasent.... The updates ran as out a fresh from the box install... Np fectory resent.... That may be a good "next point" to try..
:smileywink:
I would power OFF the ISP modem for 30 seconds and back ON during the the reset as well.
