Weird TX/RX -rate vs link status and poor speed vs link strength
Hi. Why I'm getting really poor TX-rate and why TX-rate is sigfinicately lower than RX-rate? - Daisy chain technology activated on SRR60 - RBS50Y is connectd to SRR60 (with link status -79dBM) ...
a) I have seen much more grater TX speeds before, I think it has been between RBS50Y and SRS60 around 200-300Mbit/s. As far I take a look to some other wifi devices, there seems to be little bit same kind of tred with connecting to RBS50Y - some how TX-rate is much more slower than RX-rate - despite of link between SRR60 and RBS50Y which seems to be also fine 390/390 right now.
b) What do you mean changing Ethernet cables? Those TX/RX values are directly from SRR60 web config and it's impossible to connect SRR60 and RBS50Y or RBS50Y and SRS60 with ethernet cable. As far I know this TX/RX rate is measured between satelites - satelites are connected togeter as normal wireless satelites with 5G links (channel 108).
c) FW is 2.6.2.200 on every unit, I installed that a few days ago to every Orbi unit. Same problem existed also with former 2.6.0.108.
I also attached a new pic from SRR to here. I moved SRS to outside of building on testing purpose that it can see directly to RBS50Y. Distance is about 15 meters and rates are still poor. Same picture you can see also two wifi devices, camera and power-outlet. Camera is outside and seeing directly to RBS50Y(which is also outside of building) within distance about 30m. Power-outlet is directly side by side camera. Yesterday I've got withing camera something like 60/60 - and now 1/2... Power-converter was also something like 56/48 - now 6/12... I really don't understand what is happening here - rates might drop or change what ever good to poor viceversa:(

Hi - I found one very nasty problem with one of my two RBS50Ys - at least this unit seems to be water tight at bottom... I need to check how your warranty works and is there any left. At least this kind of unit which is expensive and sold as part of business network should work more than two months. Sadly this particular unit stayed almost two years as unused after I bought it (bought it as spare/replacement unit) and I started using it using it only two months ago - only because I started to solve my problem weird TX vs RX vs link status strengt! My other older unit has been on this exact same location before this moistured one about two years without any problems within water tightness.
