Orbi AX6000 (RBK852) wireless vs wired
Hello, I recently bought a park of 3 Orbi. I sucessfully installed them and are working correctly. I write because i have two questions: 1) I have the possibility to have them communicate in...

I prefer wired back haul as it's most stable. However 1000Mbs is the max link rate on eithernet for Orbi systems.

SpoilerYou can either have the RBS wireless or wire connected. Not at the same time per RBS. You can have 1 RBS wirelessly connected and another RBS wired.ok, but my question was different: I can have connected them in both ways, which should I choose? Isn't wired always better?

So I can't turn off the RBR :smileylol:

This is a test run with my ASUS GT-AX11000 wireless bridged to the RBR850. As you can see the connection rate is 2400Mpbs. The speed test maxes out since my ISP service is 1Gb and the LAN ports on the PC and the back of the ASUS is 1000Mpbs so we are seeing near or over 900Mpbs speeds on the down.
Do you know how can i check the "link rate" you showed from your AX11000?
I would need to do somethink like that on my phone/laptop. If i run a normal speed test i get the same value because my ISP also limit my speed far away from the specified orbi transfer rate.
This is just for the sake of curiosity: anyway my final speed is limited, so I would probably end using the wired connection, the 1GBs limit is perfectly fine and my goal is stability
wifi sweet spots app on phone or pad works well to check the connection rate between the wireless devices and host wifi source.
