FURRYe38 I use ookla speedtest app.
I have no idea what channels I'm using or how to check them. I'm a noob when it comes this stuff. So if you could give me step by step instructions that will really help. I have no idea what beamforming, MIMO or WMM are. I really have no idea what you're asking me to check in the rest of the message you sent either. please be as specific as possible.

What devices are you using to speed test with?
Use a wired PC connected to the RBR and a web browser to log into the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.1 or orbilogin.com.
Check under Advanced Tab and you'll see what wireless channels the system is using.
Follow the path under Advanced Tab/Wireless settings to check for the items mentioned.
If you don't think you can check for these items, you may want to get someone to help you out on this, friend, nieghbor or family member.
