Orbi RBR350 + 2 satellites internet speed question
Hi! I use a RBR350 Orbi connected to 2 RBS350 satellites in my house with 2 floors. There is a big concrete wall in the middle of the house. So basically, the router and the RBR350 are downstairs, ...
just did a speed test in my room and it went up to 300Mb/s. So the signal oscillates between 180 and 300Mb/s
Speeds also depend on other factors. You and your neighbors share the same internet "pipe", and sometimes the speedtest servers are overloaded. Some appliances generate interference - microwave ovens being one example. Hard to say at this point whether this variation is due to the Orbi backhaul (though it is possible).
On her cheaper Asus laptop, she gets around 90 Mbs/s with ethernet.
Can you test using your laptop in her room? That will ensure we can compare the results.
It would also be useful to take a speed measurement there with her satellite turned off.

Does that wall extend to all the floors? Are there rooms on both sides that wall on all floors?
Are you getting good speeds throughout the first floor?

150 Mb/s in WiFi. 95 Mb/s with ethernet and I think it's because it's plugged into a Belkin Usb-c dock. Me, I use ethernet on a Cladigit TS4, probably not the same league?

165 Mb/s, so a little bit more than with the satellite on.
Is there anything on the path between your two rooms that that might be blocking the signal? For instance, a pipe chase or a chimney? Or perhaps a bathroom?
No, it's the attic, so just plasterboard walls.

The concrete wall goes from the ground floor to the first floor. Yes, there are rooms on both sides. Second floor is the attic, so it does not go up there.
Are you getting good speeds throughout the first floor?
Pretty much the same as in my partner's room: 165 Mb/s ATM. On both sides of the wall.
