varying speeds from test orbi rbr20 with 1 satellite
I am getting 3 different speeds depending on the test I run on orbi app I get 463 download, 14 upload, and 17 ping on speed test app I get 176 download, 9 upload, 64 ping on my computer over wifi ...
When you run it in the orbi app, it hosts the speedtest directly off the router. If it picks the best server (it doesn't always) its going to give you the most accurate speeds.
I'm assuming the "speedtest app" is ran off a phone? And therefore wifi? Same with the pc?
The pc could be running off 2.4ghz since orbi does band steering.
And depending on your phone, it could be multiple things. such as the phone having a 1x1 antenna setup, distance, interference, 2.4ghz, etc.
The most reliable speedtest is hardwired into the router and running speedtest (and trying different servers on speedtest).
