Slow WIFI speeds on 750/750 fiber connection
Hello All! I wanted to post here as I called the Netgear free support line and they think that all routers (Edge Router Lite) must have WIFI and for the Orbi system, when in AP mode, none of the ...
Thank you for the reply but all of the things you mentioned were tried before I posted and I even mentioned a few of those in my post. I even tested with just the Orbi router and no satellite. The R7450 still outperformed the Orbi in speed tests.
The switch is a Netgear GS752TXP. I have since replaced the Edge Router Lite with a Netgate XG-7100-1U. The house is 3500 Sq. Ft.
I returned the Orbi system and picked up a couple of Aruba access points.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?
Have you directly connected the RBR to the back of the Edge router with out this switch in the mix?
What are you wired speeds with a PC wire connected to the back of the RBR in AP mode?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
