speed slows down Orbi
My iMac is connected through wifi to my orbi system. The orbi has 1 satellite. My internet service is AT&T gigspeed and when I test it with a CAT5 connection I get 950mbps up and down, but I don't us...
To confirm which version of HW, please give the actual version of FW. There are some versions that could be recent. LOL
What do other devices you have speed test at and what are there results. Do these also see a decline in speed? Wondering if the iMac maybe the only device doing this.
I have iPhone 6sP, Mac Book Pro 2008 and other devices. I don't see this decline in my testing. Beamforming enabled, MiMO disabled, manual channel 48. WPA2 and AES only.
It is the RBR50, the firmware is V2.1.2.18 which is apparently the latest. I do not have a way to test the Apple Tvs or the cams etc, but my Ipad and iphones all seem to test reliably at the same speed which is somewhere in the 200-300mbps range up and down, so yes this seems to be iMac related.
