Orbi RBK852 is not reliable
I have recently purchased the RBK852 for my house and it has to be the worst purchase I have ever made regarding network equipment. Here are the reasons: I test my internet speed from the Orbi...
Hi,
the Modem is Arris, Surfboard, SB6183.
Home Area is 2,800 Sq Ft.
I followed the link for the setup of the device. One upstairs on East side of house, One Downstairs on West Side.
Channels are Auto. I will try the other channels.
There are two wifi's in the neighborhood.
Be sure to check the CTS and RTS values as well.
- I have made the change CTS/RTS. I am still having a problem with the devices having great bandwidth and then dropping. For example, this device has been at 100+Mbs and then it will drop down to <1Mbp.
What is the distance between the RBR and RBS?
If you turn OFF the RBS, do you still see the drop in speed with the RBR only?
One is upstairs and one is downstairs. I would guess about 50 ft in a straight line.
I have turned off the RBS and still have issue.
