Router is getting great speed but not to device - Fios 1gb and Orbi RBR50 w satellites
Fios 1gb, Orbi router speed test results around 800mb up and down which I’m happy with. But to devices I get speed range of 40-120mb. How can I improve speed to devices from Orbi system?

The following can affect you maximum throughput:
- Please make sure that the radio environment is as clean as possible. Do a wifi scan and choose the channels (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) that are least used by your neighbours.
- If you only have one satellite, then switch off Daisy Chain (since you don't need it) to reduce any un-needed interference on the wireless backhaul.
- Activate MU-MiMO: allowing multi spatial stream sending/receiving for devices that support MU-MIMO.
- Implicit Beamforming, which allows much better data transmissions boost in the mid-long range device setups.
- If you can wire devices to Orbi then this will for sure give you better bandwidth.
