Latency and random poor backhaul status
Hello Everybody, I recently purchased a RBR350 with two satellites and I am currently running the firmware version : V4.3.4.8_1.9.53 I am living in a 85m2 appartment with big thick swiss walls. ...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
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.
What are the walk materials made up of? Any concrete?

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Hello Fury,
Thanks for your reply on this and sorry for replying late.For some reasons, it went back as "normal" without any issue for a week or so, and now its going back to randomly poor.
I will try all the settings you mentionned.Thanks
Jonathan
I can modifiy the channel for the channel 2.4Ghz but not 5 it's greyed out.
Since I have done the following settings, my satellite are not joining anymore, even by reseting them or bringing them closer..
Check you bufferbloat (it's that word again!) at sites such as dslreports or waveform - for example:
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
if it's bad, check to see if WMM is enabled.
if it is enabled, put your synology back, and use the Orbi as AP. Then use your Synology to control QOS (I hear Synology is pretty good at it).
Orbi's QOS ability is s*cks (that word again) even with their WMM. Bufferbloat affects gaming a videoconferncing more than raw speed. Because of Orbi's lack of QOS, my wife was having problems with her Zoom meetings, so I put my Asus router back in, using the Orbi as AP.
Bufferbloat went from C/D (with WMM enabled/Orbi routing) to A+/A (Asus routing / QOS enabled / Orbi AP). Wife is happy with Zoom. Happy wife=happy life.
Mines at 40 feet and not PINK. Too close and you get too much wifi over lap. Depends on building materials though.
