Link rate incorrect in iOS app when device connected to Orbi satellite
Hi everyeone -
Reposting this in the "Orbi App" vs "Orbi" location as suggested by another member (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Link-rate-incorrect-when-device-connected-to-Orbi-satellite/m-p/1890453)
Recently while doing some WiFi troubleshooting with the Orbi system, I was noticing some inconsistencies with the Link Rates showing for my devices when connected to the RBW30 Orbi Satellite. For the main Orbi Router I have the RBR40, then just one RBW30 Satellite currently.
For example, when my iPhone is conencted to the RBR40 Router, the Orbi iOS app shows my "Link Rate" as the expected 866 Mbps (max). However, if the same device switches to the Satellite when I'm in my office, the same device will who a "Link Rate" of "1112616 Mbps". I noticed this first on my phone, but I then noticed that really any device that is connected to the Satellite is showing an incorrect Link Rate within the iOS app.
Not sure if this is an app issue or Satellite/firmware issue.
Note: See attached screenshot with same device connected to both Router (left) and Satellite (right).
