Orbi AX4200; Slow Download, Fast Upload
Hi, I have a gigabit fiber connection through CenturyLink, and my wired connection hits those speeds. However, my 5ghz wifi download speeds seem to be capped between 180-250Mbps, but upload speeds a...
Hello,
Thanks for the response. I believe that I discovered the culprit: my Sony ST-HT5000 soundbar. The subwoofer connects to the sound bar wirelessly and it was connecting at the 5.8 GHz RF Band. After I switched that to 5.2 GHz, and tested devices connected to the satellite, I am getting between 600-700 mbps.
Unfortunately, because the router and soundbar are in the same room (about 10 feet apart), there is still some interference; speed results are between 300-400 mbps for devices connected to the router.
Not a perfect solution but is doable.
Yes. Just to clarify, aren't those 3 options only for two routers (so in my situation running the Orbi through the Zyxel C300z)? When using just the Zyxel modem/router or using just the Orbi, the issue with wireless download speeds exist. If using only the Zyxel and not the Orbi, are there any recommended solutions?
IF you use the Zyxel in front of the orbi as your host router, options #2 and #3 can be used with that unit.
