Went from Deco M5 & Asus aimesh system to Orbi & very slow upload speeds
Hi guys,
Hoping someone can give me some color on this. In my quest for better wireless speed and most importantly wireless stability I took a chance on the rbk50. I started with single nighthawks and then a deco m5 system as well as an asus 1900p aimesh system. All had their pluses and minuses but I simply couldn’t find the right mix of stability (drops and constant mesh hand-offs) and consistent max speed or throughput.
The Orbi has been surprisingly much more stable than those other systems with my devices and download is roughly the same...but where it matters for me most, upload speed is severely neutered in the same physical areas in my 1400sq foot home where the others excelled. I would say the speed is exactly half.
Ive tried everything..bridging my arris bw210 gigafiber to the orbi’s router and AP modes as well turning off beamforming, mimo, high speed hand off, resetting etc to no avail. I’m also on 2.2 firmware and the satelitte is 30 feet apart.Ive tested the speed in to the modem at 999/975 and re-attached my asus aimesh to more adequate upload speeds.
Is anyone experiencing similar issues or is this simply a weakness of the orbi antennas? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

What upload speed do you get from a wired device to Orbi, please?
