NEW RBKE960 WiFI speed improvement help
I have a question in regards to RBKE960. Has anyone been able to get more than 640 to 730 Mbps on wireles? If yes how? Here is my current set up. I have CAT8 runing from the modem to Orbi route...
what device are you testing on?
The RBKE960 uses quad band.
that's as follows:
1200mbps over 2.4ghz (2.4ghz is a really slow network, it'll never get close to those speeds)
2400mbps over 5ghz
2400mbps over 5ghz (backhaul)
4800mbps over 6ghz.
Keep in mind that those are 4x4 antenna arrangements. Most phones/tablets/pcs are only 1x1 or 2x2 antenna arrangements.
so if you're phone is a 2x2 device, its max link speed is 1200mbps. And thats link speed. thats not throughput. Throughput tends to be 55-65% of link speed. Plus you have to take into account distance (your close to it), obstructions, and interference.
And you have to consider the device you're testing on. Are you testing on an AX device? You didn't put what you're using for speedtesting.
Or what site/app
Test done on IPhone 13 max pro using speedtest.net

I have a 12 iphone. Maxes out at just over 700Mpbs...
- Can you share how you have it all set up?
I don't have mine online currently however when I do it's mostly default setting accept I use manual channels:
I don't use Armor or Guest Network.
My RBS are mostly ethernet connected.
I try not to change alot of settings as I like to experience systems most out of box as intended by NG.
What Wifi devices do you have?
Most mobile phones and pads are 2x2 MIMO configuration and top out at around 300-600Mpbs on 5Ghz AC. AX you may see upwards of 700Mpbs. To get anything near 900Mpbs or over, a device needs to be 4x4 MIMO supporting. I see over 900Mpbs with my ASUS GT-AX11000 and NG RAXE500 configured for wireless bridge mode.
