RBK852 WiFi Speeds

Question

Just setup our new RBK852. &nbsp;We did have an Orbi RBR50. &nbsp;We have 1gb service through Spectrum and it does reach close to 1gb hardwired. &nbsp;&nbsp;On the RBR50 with iPhone 11 Pro speeds were usually around 328 down and 57 up. &nbsp; On my iPad 11 Pro speeds were 410 and 44 up. &nbsp;&nbsp;On the RBK852, the iPhone 11 Pro speeds are around 700 up and 57 up. &nbsp;And on the iPad 11 Pro the speeds are 600 up and 51 down.&nbsp;I know the iPhone 11 Pro has the chipset to take advantage of wifi 6, so should I be getting close to 1gb speeds on it via wifi and if so, is there anything I have to do in the settings to get that?&nbsp;Has anyone done any comparison to the Linksys Velop Wifi 6 mesh system? I might get that too and see if it is much different, although always have good success with the Orbi's. &nbsp;Thanks!

Use WiFi Sweet Spots on your iPhone to see what the connection rate is between the iphone and RBR...&nbsp;&nbsp;

Wi-Fi Sweetspots shows connection from 672 to 693. &nbsp;Is that what you need? &nbsp;Thanks!

Anyone else have anything to add about my speeds? &nbsp;Appreciat the help. &nbsp;:)

Your speeds sound perfectly normal to me. &nbsp;Getting a full 1 Gps connection over WiFi 6 would require you to be probably within a foot or two of the router and having all other conditions be perfect in the room. &nbsp;The full advertised speeds are rarely, if ever, achieveable in the real world.&nbsp;Out of curiosity, how close are you to the router when you test your speeds?

Yes. That means your wifi device maybe maxing out at around that connection rate between the wifi device and the Orbi system.DBV&nbsp;wrote:Wi-Fi Sweetspots shows connection from 672 to 693. &nbsp;Is that what you need? &nbsp;Thanks!&nbsp;
