Poor WiFi download Speed RBR852
Ok so hopefully you guys and gals can help me. Just bought the Orbi RBR852 WiFi6 latest Firmware, I have 500 down and 500 up fios thru Frontier. My Speed going into the Orbi Is great 512/560 wired coming from frontier modem into my laptop. I do a speed test in the orbi app and the speeds are great again over 500 up and down. I connect wirelessly to the Orbi and my upload is fine still over 500 but my download speed is taking a big hit im getting maybe 240 and thats right next to the Orbi Router. Tested on my Samsung s10 Plus, My laptop and my Desktop 2 of which suport WiFi 6, I cant figure out why. Makes no sense, Hopefully you can help me. Thank you.

- Perhaps QOS is to blame. I have fiber gig, 1000 up & down and get 650+ up and down on my phone... 800+ on my laptop with my Intel AX201 WiFi card. From 20 plus feet away.
I do not us the speed test as I have read not to use it with gig. Perhaps a factory reset and do not enable QOS.Thank you for the reply. When i got into the orbi advanced interface there is no way to disable QOS all that is there is a speedtest. Maybe a bad firmware upgrade?
- No way to disable other than a factory reset and do not run a speed test in the web gui or Orbi app.
