Orbi Wifi 6 AP vs Router mode performance
Hello, I have an Orbi AX on the ARRIS BGW210-700 gateway for my AT&T 1GB connection. I could use the Orbi in AP mode with my Arris gateway as router or I could use the Orbi in router mode and my ...
I have the same setup as you Att fiber(1000) Arris BG210-700 with an Orbi RBK852Arris is set to passthrough. (speedtest 994 down 984 up) A computer connected with erhernett to RBR50(router mode) gets similar speeds, Satelllite is downstairs on other side of house(approx 1900-2000 Sqft per floor), Computer connected with ethernet to RBS50 gets 359 down 35 up. I have not tried with RBR50 in AP mode. I'm mot sure if second RBS50 directly above the downstairs RBS50 will improve the speeds. Unfortunately the home was not wired with a second Ethernet run and AT&T Fiber with cable hookup prohibits the use of data and video on same wiring run(per install tech.)
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
