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. ...
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.
