CBR 750 Wi-Fi speed slow
I have an Orbi CBR 750 and two satellites on Spectrum gigabit. On the Orbi app, I see 1146 mbps download and 37 mbps upload. On wireless devices, the best I see is 500 mbps download and 34 Mbps upload...
The bottleneck usually isn't your router but the wireless device you're testing on.
Plus wireless speeds drop off quickly with distance and interference.
Without knowing the device you're testing on, the distance from it, and the interference in the area, its tough to know if that's actually slower. I wouldn't say slow as 500mbps over wireless is actually pretty darned fast.
- Thanks for the response. The device is an iPhone 13 Pro and 500 Mbps is the best I get on ooakla standing right next to the orbi.
have you tested other devices?
- My gaming computer using a Nighthawk A7000 Wi-Fi adapter sitting near to one satellite is getting 235 Mbps download and 38.48 Mbps upload.
