Orbi R750 not able to find daisy chain option under advanced wireless settings
I am not able to find Daisy chain or MIMU or implicit beam forming etc options under Orbi Settings > Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings. Firmware Version V3.2.16.6_1.4.4 I am not get...
1. CenturyLink - ActionTek 2000T is the modem/router given to me.
2. I am using iphone xs max and ipad pro 2020 to test wifi speeds.
3. Wireless is diabled on this provider router.
4. Orbi rbr 750 is connected in router mode.
5. I am getting around 130 mb speed when connected to orbi router with ethernet.
6. I have two neighbors and around 6 ssid I can see in my wifi search with 2-3 bars out of 3.
7. I leave 2.4ghz channel to Auto and 5 ghz to 40. I tested different channels for 5 ghz and found 40 is better compared to others.
8. Router and satellites are on different floors and in opposite direction. I guess they are easily 30 feet apart.
9. I am not sure about "configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem".
10. I disabled wifi on modem/router. So I need to connect orbi in AP mode or router mode?

9. I am not sure about "configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem". If you want to use the Orbi AX RBR in router mode, this configration is recommended. You might ask your ISP or someone to help you out with this if your not comfortable with this.
10. I disabled wifi on modem/router. So I need to connect orbi in AP mode or router mode? You still have a router in front of the Orbi router which isn't recommended. Try option #2 first to see if this helps any then try AP mode.
Also what connection speed do you see with WiFiSweetspots app loaded on your iphone and iPad while connected to the RBR?
Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
First of all, thank you so much for your support.
1. I updated wifi settings to 40hz only now.
2. Tested speed withwifi sweetspots app. I never used it. This is the first time. Speed is varying from 30 Mbps to 600 Mbps. After intial ups and downs, connection is staying is consistently above 600. I don't understand this, my internet speed is only 150 Mbps.
Just testing the connection between the RBR and your wireless device. So it's just connecting at 600Mpbs with the RBR. So if you install Ooklas speed test app on the wireless device, you should see 150Mpbs thru the RBR to the wireless device.
With speedtest app, on my ipad I am getting 48 and on my iphone I am getting 34.4 at the same location where Intested wifi sweetspots.
