Be sure to disable the iphones wifi radio first, then go near the RBS and then re-enabled the wifi radio on the iphone. Then speed test.
Make sure the TV is connected to the RBS and not the RBR if it's nearest the RBS.
firmware 3.2.18.1
spectrum is the provider modem is Arris model TM1602A
home is 1900sq
just measured and there is 36' between with one wall. the base is at the edge of the door.
what is interesting is the macbook is getting 268mbps, but tv and amazon firecube plugged into the satellite are between 19-46mpbs. checked my Oculus Quest 2 and it is getting 240mbps wifi from in satellite. not sure why iphone next to base station is slow and why anything plugged into satellite is slow. the app for orbi speed test is way off.
