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...
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.
Try a factory reset on the RBR and RBS and walk thru the setup wizard. Power OFF The ISP modem for 30 seconds then back ON when you reset the Orbi AX. Set the CTS and RTS values to 2346 as well.
See if this changes anything. IF it doesn't then I'd return the system for another one. You may have a bad system.
