RBR 850 connection delay / high latency at ~60 second intervals
I have an RBR 850 with two satellites, latest firmware v4.6.14.3. I have fiber internet with 1GB symmetrical. Speedtest to the router comes back at ~940 up and down, and o my MacBook at 580 down, 34...
Have updated firmware to latest, as mentioned above.
Hardwired into router directly, still experiencing latency spikes at exactly 60 second intervals.
In the pic attached, the large spikes you see are literally every minute, at 18 seconds past. This is from Google Meet troubleshooting stats.
What brand and model devices are you using to test this?
Happens with a different device to compare?
Does wired ethernet do same thing?
Test with all wireless and other devices and RBS turned OFF as well. Just the RBR and one test device.
Have tried two different MacBooks, same experience. One is a MBP 2017 with i7, the other is a MBP 2023 with an M3 Pro. Same thing with both laptops.
-Macbook hardwired to satellite (wireless backhaul)... Macbook hardwired to router (with satellites ON)... Macbook hardwired to router (with satellites OFF)... Macbook connected to Orbi wirelessly... all provide the same exact results with 60-second interval latency spikes.
-Macbook hardwired directly to Modem... NO latency spike at all, perfect experience.
Issue seems to be squarely with the Orbi router/configuration.
