Orbi RBR 750 slow speed
Hi everyone, apologies for asking the same question as everyone else. However, I had an IT person come to the house and he couldn't solve this problem either. Orbi RBR 750 Computer: 2019 Mac...
If your not seeing better speeds after the reset, RBR could be faulty. Return and find another.
Hi FURRYe38 -- thank you for your reply.
1) It is a MacBookPro 2019. MacBook Pro models from 2017-2019, which are all Intel-based, feature the standard 802.11 ac@5 GHz, which brings a maximum PHY data rate of up to 1300 Mbps. My computer's wireless adaptor should not be the problem, since I have gotten over 1Gb/second in other networks.
2) 4000 square feet house. But, again, this should not be the issue- the computer was 3 feet from the router getting speeds of 203 down, 479 up.
3) The distance between the router and the satellite should not matter here because the satellite is wired into the ethernet of the house (the entire house is wired.)

I've not seen over 1GB on my Mac Book Pro. Most i've ever seen with any wifi router is around 700Mpbs on 5Ghz AC.

To check this, be sure to turn OFF the RBS and then retest?
3) The distance between the router and the satellite should not matter here because the satellite is wired into the ethernet of the house (the entire house is wired.) It does. Even if RBS are ethernet connect. Could be that your MBP is connecting to the farther RBS and not the RBS. Remember, it's up to devices to pick and choose where they connect too. Even if your close to the router.
