Srk60 wifi signal poor

Question

Purchased the SRK60 as a solution to my home network that has many devices connected. Gamers/streamers/echos/cameras.

I have great signal and speed to the router and satellite, showing 950’s. when I connect computers I cannot get speeds, downloads are coming in at 25 and uploads as low as 8. These numbers fluctuate huge through the day. I am new to all this and not sure but would have expected better speeds. Am I missing something? Biggest problem is on two computers that are used for gaming. I bought this as it offered that it would distribute wifi throughout the house. I had the satellite hooked through Ethernet to my computer and had speeds at 925 which is great. Hooked computer to wifi and was one foot away from satellite but speeds only came in at 25.

Does this seem right?

When I understand you right, the satellite is connected wireless to the router and the difference from 925 Mb/s to 25 Mb/s is only related to using an Ethernet link to the satellite vs. using WiFi?

What WiFi client are we facing here on the computer? Link speed and effective throughput requires a decent WiFi adapter, up2date drivers, a 5 GHz link to the nearest satellite.

Drivers are up to date. Screenshot below is what is listed under adapters. Sorry I am not super techie with this😁 Poor connection is over wifi. I can't choose 2.4 or 5 as they are the same ssid.

What kind of wireless adapter is ii place?
&nbsp;
The information of which device and band the adapter is connected&nbsp;would be avilable fro m Orbi - not from the client.

PS. We have a copy of the UM - probably wrong PDF uploaded?

Also, the SRK is the business class with 4x ssid's that you can use as well as you can set bandwidth controls for each ssid. (a percentage per ssid)Did you seperate out devices on the ssid's? (used more than 1)What speeds do you get hardwired into the satellites?&nbsp;Are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5ghz? 2.4ghz is a slow network and sensitive to interferece. so check what band you're testing on

Sorry for the pdf. I know it is not driver as previous router had no issue getting higher download/upload.I honestly did not pay attention to wether it was on 2.4 or 5G. When I initially set it up I had decent speed at 250’s download then the next day it was 25’s and never saw anything higher again.I will setup the second wireless with separate ssid’s and re-test while connected to 5G.What % would you recommend as to allotment of bandwidth. I currently have 4 TVs streaming and 2 desktops that kids use for gaming. (These I would guess should be on the 5G ssid). We have multiple Alexa devices (I assume 2.4 is fine for those) and of course cell phones and iPads. Normally have approximately 20 devices connected at a time.
