AX4200 RBR750 and RBS750 downloading half the speed
Recently bought orbi to run a satelite from my room for my PC. With our old charter spectrum router we got steady 200 download speed. Since connecting to orbi we are getting 70-100 speeds. Is this normal or do i need to change settings or return for new product? i tried old router again and it still gets 200 download

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
