Orbi RBR750 Slow Speeds after Fiber Install
Had fiber internet installed two days ago and the speed test of the orbi router using the orbi app is ~900MB down and ~900MB up. The issue is when I test the mesh network throughout the house (4 satellites) the speed is ~420MB down and 320MB up. Seems like a big drop off and should be better. Satellites are spread out to provide coverage for a two story house with basement. Never had an issue with satellites connecting. Any help would be appreciated.

It is critical to describe the device being used to measure speed and how far it is from the access points when measuring.
For example, a WiFi5 (802.11ac) device cannot achieve the same speed as a WiFi6 device (802.11ax)
Devices with two antennas (often referred to as 2x2 MIMO) cannot achieve the same speed as devices with 4 antennas.
