Can I change RBR750 Backhaul Channel?
Is it possble to change the defaul Backhaul channel on the AX4200/RBR750? I see it set to 157 in my WiFi Scanner which I think is conflicting with my neighbor's setup giving me poor throughput. Whe...
When you move or roam while the devices is connecting to the now moving farther away RBS, the speed will drop and it will not be super fast. Thats the thing with wifi signals. As the distance between the device and source RBS be comes greater, the connect rate and speed will drop some. Based on single strength, noise and device hardware support and design. So of your say 10-15 feet away, speeds should be fairly good to high and maintain that range. The farther away, then speeds begin to drop off. Nature of WiFi.
Also some devices will not roam or change from one RBR or RBS signal sourse to a closer signal source, just bad design for some from the Mfr. So sometimes you have to temporarily disable the devices wifi radio for 5 seconds then move to the closer RBR or RBS then turn on the devices wifi radio and it should connect to the closer stronger signal. Orbi has a auto roaming feature but again, it can only do so much and again, it's up to devices to pick and choose where they connect too. Why sometimes you have to turn off the wifi radio then back on to force the device to see a stronger signal.
Thank you. Makes sense. On a different yet related note, would I see any benefit to installing the RBR853/AX6000? I see one at Costco for $849.99. Much more expensive than what I just purchased. Worth it given my setup? Thoughts?
There basically same hardward sans LAG support and 2.4Gb WAN port on the 8 series and slightly different wifi connection rates between the 7 and 8 series. I beleive they both sport the same 2400Mpbs wirless backhaul. Other than this, not much difference. The case styles are a bit different I notice.
