Slow satellite speed on RBK40 in AP-mode; how to reproduce and correct
Ok, so - I purchased the Orbi system a couple of weeks ago, and when it works (most of the time) it has given me a 10-12 times speed increase in the internet speed in my home "office" than what I had...
- I expected a Sonos here!
I had too many strange issues when I had my mesh audio system wired to my Orbi Satellite. These devices cause loops in the base stations that affect the system performance and cause many strange issues.
Usually having only one wired mesh device shouldn’t cause such issues though
For testing purpose, please test to disconnect the Sonos Connect from the LAN port and test your issue scenarios again and let us know if you will see any difference.

.... I have wired two devices to the ethernet ports of the Orbi satellite - but the speed would have been very good if I used wireless as well.

May I ask what type of devices are these that are wired to the Satellite?

It's a Surface Pro 3 docking station, and a Sonos Connect (fwiw Sonos has been rock solid as well since I got the Orbis).

It seems to work fine if I disconnect the wired Sonos. I guess I will keep it unwired then, and maybe switch the Sonos to go through my wifi instead, if Sonos seems less reliable now that it's back to it's own Sonosnet.
