AX4200 - rbr750 and two rbs750 - throughput concerns.

What are people getting interms of throughput on their orbi systems?

 

What I'm using 

Test setup

  • For conversion, https://www.gbmb.org/gbps-to-mbs
    • 4.2GBPS = 525MB/s (theoretically)
  • Internet speed tester, https://www.speedtest.net
    • wired 99% percent of speed - yes wired is always faster
    • wireless - 35-85% of speed - varies should be consistent much more
      • 3 test - 35, 64, 83.  It throttles up slowly.
  • Local Area speed tester, https://www.aja.com/products/aja-system-test
    • 1GB file transfer.
  • Hardware
    • 2 laptops with SSDs (less than 2 year old)
    • AC wireless - theoretical capability 1300 megabits (162.5 megabytes)
    • SMB file transfer.
  • Setup
    • Router - 15 feet away from satellite 1 (no brick walls)
      • Turrned off satellite 2. 
  • Test1
    • Wireless to Wireless transfer - 23 megabytes (seems very low) 

My questions:

  • throughput to the internet (percentage of their maximum bandwidth)
  • throughput of peer to peer wireless transfer
  • How do you improve the speed and performance in AP mode?
    • settings don't really have much options.

Thanks for the help,

  • Anyone have any real world speed test internet or peer to peer?

      These are wireless speed tests results with a Mac Book Pro 2018 5Ghz AC mode:

        This is with a 8 series Orbi. 

         

        Wired speeds are usualy around 900Mpbs or just over on my ISP 1Gb/50Mbps Plan.
