Orbi RBR750 wifi speed
I have an Orbi RBR750 with 1 satellite. Just upgraded to 1gb fiber internet. Speeds with a wired connection are in the 900's Gbps but wifi speeds tested with a Galaxy S25 are in the 400's. Firmware is up to date and disconnecting the satellite does not change the speeds. Tests were conducted right next to the router. Any suggestions on how to get the wifi speeds up? Seems like I should be getting faster wifi speeds

If the S25 connects using WiFi6 (802.11ax), I would expect to see speed closer to 700Mbps. Does the phone (or the Orbi) indicate that the connection is WiFi5 or WiFi6?
(the WiFi symbol often has a tiny number to show the connection method)
A couple thoughts.
- Why do you want faster speeds on a mobile device? 4k streaming only takes 25-50mbps.
- The 752 system wasn't the fastest system. It was a base model with dedicated backhaul (wireless connection between router---satellite). Its 5ghz fronthaul was only 1200mbps with a 2x2 antenna configuration. Most test that I seen testing during performance reviews were in that 500-600mbps range. And with only a 2x2 5ghz connection, it left some performance on the table.
- What modem is it connected to?
- what speeds do a wired device see? Wireless is hard to judge as many things impact performance. Such as distance, interference from other signals, network congestiong, etc. So while its nice for a baseline, it isn't the best way to test.
