Slow internet connection - Lenovo ThinkPad 1X Carbon 7th
I have a 2 bedroom apartment with a living room. Modem with Orbi Mesh RBR20 router are in the bedroom. Satellite 1 is connected to DirecTV DVR in Living Room and Satellite 2 is in adjacent office r...
I've administered it both ways, but am currently logged into the router on my laptop to see more options. Considering trying to change channel frequencies. Was reading online about enabling: 1) BEAMforming, 2) MU-MIMO and/or 3) Fast roaming to see if that would help fix the issue, but I honestly have to idea what the hell that even means.
On the Lenovo, doing a speedtest after watching the webpages slow extremely slowly. The speedtest at times would show very fast speed but then fluctuates when you run the test again showing very slow. It makes no sense. I've done numerous hard re-setting of the modem and the router and 2 satellites and sometimes it fixes it temporarily, but inevitably it reverts back to speed issues. The router wi-fi signal seems to be fine and the ISP internet signal speed is fine on all the other devices.
When I click on "Properties" of my Lenovo ThinkPad, it shows that I am connected to 5G channel 48 (which is correct), but it says nothing about the "Link Rate" between the Lenovo and the Orbi.
The Orbi "app" does show the Link Rate (as far as I can tell, the Orbi web interface does not). Would be interesting trivia to know what the app reports for your Lenovo.
