Speedtest via router x speedtest via app
Hello. I’m using an Orbi RBR-50 + RBS-50 + 2 RBS-40. The satellites are all connected via gigabit ethernet on the RBR-50. Orbi is working as router mode and all of them updated to the latest firmwa...
So, after some weeks of tests, still have the instability with the speed and noticed a new one. From time to time, the router lose the connection.
In the beginning i tought it was an issue with the internet provider, but no. All wireless connection lose internet, but wired was still up.
Then, decided to change Orbi from AP to bridge mode and it seems to be OK now, with full download and upload speed.
It seems like an issue with AP mode or with provider’s modem, or maybe both.
Will try to figure this out with the provider because i really wanted AP mode for Armor and upnp.

Try configuring the modem for router mode and try option #2 of my suggestion about modem combo units. Configure the Orbi for router mode and use the DMZ on the modem for the Orbi. I would not recommend using Armor, others have reported having problems with it.

- I would suggest the following two tests:
1. Please switch off the Satellite and see if the devices attached to the Router will then give better results.
2. Please try to change the used radio channels and see if this will make any difference.
