Orbi 960 - Slow WIFI over Satellite
WiFi and Ethernet connection to Satellite of Orbi 960 is extremely slow. I have 2.5g xfinity internet, Orbi main router is getting 2k-2.3k Mbps down directly connected to the modem. Satellite...
Also, in case you need to know, satellite connection light is Blue (good connection).
What happens if you move the satellite to a different location and try it?
It wouldn't be the first time something in the walls was blocking a satellite or causing issues.
Good idea,
I just tried 3 different areas.
1. Bedroom slightly further from router ~30 feet, still upstairs
- Satellite unplugged, ~450 Mbps down
- Satellite plugged in, blue light, ~140 Mbps down
2. Upstairs hallway, ~20 feet from router
- Satellite unplugged, ~600 Mbps down
- Satellite plugged in, blue light, ~130-140 Mbps down
3. Bedroom directly above router location, ~10 feet
- Satellite unplugged, ~860 Mbps down
- Satellite plugged in, blue light, ~130-140 Mbps down
Satellite is actually slowing down traffic anywhere in the house if it is closer to you than the main router.
