Orbi wifi 6 AX6000 slow wifi speeds

Router reports internet speed over 450mb/s and the orbi app's wifi analytics says my phone (Galaxy Note 10+) is getting 850mb/s from the satellite but internet speeds over wifi are 20mb/s or lower. I started looking into it after getting a lot of skipping and buffering with streaming on TV. Rebooting the routers didn't change anything... ideas?

  • I have had issues with VERY inconsistent WiFi speeds. Tried resetting with no QOS activated (run speed test), run speed test, WMM enabled and not enabled, etc. Upload in particular is very slow always compared to download speed. I am full symmetrical fiber 1000/ 1000 and the speed test always shows 940+ in both directions. Also noticed with my laptop using 802.11ax the upload is less than half the download speed. I believe the QOS is flawed along with firmware issues. Have till mid January to return.... Also, not having 160mhz as an option is becoming a deal breaker for me.... Hoping for some quick firmware fixes to correct a multitude off issues....

      Any update on whether you got it solved? I just got the rbk853 set and am still having issues with anything over 160mbps for my ftp. 

      I cant tell if its the computer or the router that is causing the slowdown, but the computer has an intel ax200 which has has 2 channels capable of 2400mbps, Im consistently getting 160mbps max.

        What are your wired speeds to your ISP service or to a speed test server using Ooklas installable Speedtest app? 

        FTP usually won't have high speeds due to it's design nature. Similar to VPN, the the processing that is being handled, tests to slow speeds down using these protocols.
