What speed should I expect when connected to the satellite
My Setup:
RBR50, RBS50 and 2 x RBS20.
RBR50 is connected to a 8-port TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
And the 3 satellites are connected to the switch with Cat 6E cable.
All running firmware V2.5.1.16.
I am noticing the following:
- On the ORBI router, when I do the speed test, I see download speeds of ~290Mbps.
- And when my iPhone is connected over 5G to the router, using fast.com, I see download speed of ~280 Mbps
- But when the phone is connected to a satellite (RBS50 or RBS20) over 5Ghz, I see the download speed ~90Mbps (using fast.com).
While things are fine, I just wanted to know if that download speed expected when connected to the satellite which has a wired backhaul.
Cheers,
Rampi
Glad to hear it was a simple fix!
If you mark it solved it can potentially help the next person as well as others aren't going through the thread trying to fix the problem again :)

Maybe it could be the cabling... will check over the weekend and update.
check your switch too. Maybe its not negotiating a 1gig connection and is only connecting at 10/100mbps.
What speed do you get directly off the satellites ethernet port? That takes the wireless out of the equation
Will check that. Thanks.
Wonder if there's a way on the Orbi either in the web interface or in the telnet to check what speed has been negotiated on the ethernet interface.
