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 ...
Speed tests are going to vary, depending on many things. As a baseline, run the speedtest built in the app. Then any wireless speedtests will vary greatly depending on distance from the router or satellites, interference, (experiment with different channels), settings of both the Orbi system and the devices. I find, if I have a device that supports 5Ghz but connects to 2.4Ghz all the time, forget the WIFI network on the device, then relogin. However the device will go back to 2.4Ghz if the signal strenght on 5Ghz is below a certain threshold.
Check your Orbi settings under Advanced/Advanced Settings/Wireless setting, in the WEB interface, and uncheck "Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence", check "Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings", "Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING" and "Enable MU-MIMO"
