Half the desired speed of RBK852 AX6000 mesh system
I just purchased the AX6000 after a lot of research to use with my gigabit Internet. While wired I get 800-900 mbps average, WiFi is about 400 mbps on an iPhone 11 with WiFi 6, that is only about a f...
The wifisweetspots test is a connection rate between the device at the iphone. Not a thruput speed test. Ooklas speed test doe the thruput test.
You would think with the 5 GHz on the Orbi supporting 2400 mbps and the phone supporting 1300 mbps theoreticals it would hit 700 mbps or so just fine.

There are only a couple of other SSID's near me and didn't think it would affect it much, but still, getting 350/400 or so vs 700/800 mbps I was expecting still disappointing, even when accounting for at least a 25-30% reduction expectation from theoretical speeds it should still hit it.
Need to find out what connection rate the iphone is connected with the RBR.
