Slow wireless download speed in AP mode
I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this issue. I currently have gig service via Centurylink and also through Xfinity. I'm comparing the 2 services for awhile and deciding which is better...

After a reset, and configure for AP mode, try testing just with the RBR only while the RBS are turned OFF.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Possible issue with the Orbi you got from Amazon...

We're fairly remote so no neighboring wifi interference.
I'll try a factory reset again and leave the satellites off.
I've had the router and 2 satellites for about 3 years now, maybe longer. I remember I had issues with AP mode when I first set up the Orbi and switched to router mode to get around those issues. I'm thinking it is a hardware issue or something. Maybe I can pick up a used/cheap rbr50 on craigslist or something to test that theory.

Ah, ok, if this has been a problem since...could still be on going and a HW issue. Let us know.
