Orbi RBR850 Extremely high wifi ping/latency
My Orbi system has very poor performance. Symptoms include: * Extremely poor ping times * Extremely long dns resolution time * speedtest still shows full 200Mbps connection rate * Streaming video...
I'm ping testing from my MacBook Pro which, according to the "connected devices" list is currently connected on the 5GHz channel but this problem is not limited to 5GHz as far as I can tell. The Orbi app shows nearby networks and which ones to choose and the ones I'm on have been consistently marked "best" by the app.
I see a few apps for android and MacOS but they don't seem to offer much more than the orbi app.
When I look at my Orbi 'app' WiFi Analytics panel and scroll over to Channel Interference, it shows that there are 7 nearby networks on Channel 48 and the Clarity is Poor. What does your Orbi app show?
It shows 1 network (mine) on channel 48 and clarithy is "great."
