AX4200 (rbs750) backhaul only works at 1200Mbps
Just got my AX4200 mesh to replace my buggy Google mesh system. Very impressive!!! All the connections are stable and lighting fast!! However, just a naive question. Why my backhaul only works at 120...
Please post about this over in the Orbi AX forum.

Thank you.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
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. <This will impact actual connecttion speeds seen between the RBR and RBS.
Thanks for moving my post to the correct forum. It is hard to test the actual backhaul speed. I knew it is running under 1200Mbps from the "Show Statistics" in the "Advanced Home" on web GUI (see the attached screenshot in my original post). Both the router and two satellites are updated to the latest firmware (V3.2.16.6). That mesh system is placed in a ~ 1700sqft two floor unit. And it was on Verizon FiOS 300/300. Since the AX4200 delivered the stable and fast WiFi coverage, I am not complaining the "slow" backhaul. In fact, I am just curious about how the backhaul works. Will the backhaul only be boosted (to 2400Mpbs) under havey load?
