Hi - using SpeedTest, I continually get around 40-60Mbps download vs. 150+Mbps upload. I am on the latest firmware, and am on the 5G network on either the satellite or router - same speeds. Any ideas on why this would be happening and potential fixes? I've changed the 5GZ channels a few times with little change.

..and one other thing - I hardwired to the FIOS router, and I get 150/150 - so that's not the issue.

Have you enabled beamforming or mumimo? also have you tried to re position your satellite? DarrenM

Yes - I have tried with both of those settings on and off with little difference. I have not moved the satellite around, as I get fast performance on upload, so that’s likely not the issue?

Do you have orbi set up as a AP or in router mode? if in router mode do you have your FiOS router bridged? DarrenM
