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, ...
installed a powerline adapter and tested it on my computer's room. I got 165 mbps, which is the lowest I had when the RBS was connected in wi-fi
As maxpuissant remarked, the only way to know if the satellite connection has switched from WiFi to 'wired' is to check the Attached Devices web page. It takes a few minutes for the system to recognize a change in connection possibilities, evaluate them, and decide which to use.

FWIW, I've never completely trusted that status.
If I wanted to test the performance of just a powerline link, I'd connect it directly to my pc and then run some speedtests. That way I know for sure that the powerline is the bottleneck.
