Orbi RBK852 Experience
Just wanted to share my experience so far with the new RBK852. I have two devices that have WiFi-6, so thought I'd take the plunge and see how things went. I went through the app installation pr...
I was also having issues when I first got my RBK850. I recently upgraded from the RBK53 were I as getting around 450 Mbps on WIFI with Spectrum. I have the 400 Mbps plan with Spectrum and always got a little bit more with the RBK53. When I first set up the RBK850 I was getting slower speed with my WIFI 6 and non WIFI 6 devices (around 250 Mbps - 290 Mbps). I put the router and the satellite in the same spot as my old system so nothing changed there. I started messing around with the settings but I was still getting slower speeds even with the recent update. I was considering returning it to my local BestBuy then one day my speeds went up. Now I am receiving 471 Mbps constantly on my devices, not sure if it was something I changed or what but I'm loving the new speeds.

It's interesting that you had such a similar experience with your new Orbi system too. I really have no idea why my results improved so much on my second try, but I'm glad that they did. If things work out, I won't have to go through the hassle of taking them back and returning them. I may even upgrade my Internet speed to see if I can really benefit from WiFi 6.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that the RBK852s keeping working well for both of us 🙂
