RBK852/Orbi Wifi6 Slow backhaul
Got the new RBK852/Orbi Wifi 6 system today from BB. Getting it up and running was easy. Started testing speeds and realized that the speed between the satellite and the router is very low. The satel...
Marginally better after updating firmware to 3.2.7:
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 290 MBytes 243 Mbits/sec 425 sender
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 288 MBytes 242 Mbits/sec receiver
My Note 10 Plus connected to Satelitte is pulling > 350 from the internet. So I would say the wired interface performace is still pretty bad.
Something I would make contact with NG about.

I have decided to return the product. Lack of separate SSIDs for 2.4G and 5G plus the hassle for low speed - both are deal breakers for me.
NG Orbi both AC and AX don't support SSID separation.
Good Luck in your future endeavours.

The entire purpose of a mesh network is to provide one network, thus one SSID, for your devices. That way, all you have to do is connect and the system will automatically select the best/fastest connection for your devices.
NateIU ,
Don't worry that your problem was unrelated to the Orbi system. It's always good to share info so that others may learn from your experience. So, thanks for letting us know what happened.
BanditoIn an ideal world yes - a single SSID should work but you really believe that device manufacturers are that good ? Top of line Andorid devices still prefer the stronger signal vs a "faster"/best one. IOT devices and their "onboarding" is a different nightmare all together.
Irrespective, it should be the user's choice, not forced by NG. If I want to run different SSIDs for different radios, then so be it. Why would the vendor make that choice for me ? Least they can do on their top-of-line product...
