RBR50 slow wifi speed with FIOS
Hello, I have gigabit service from Verizon and 3 Orbi devices. The router is connected directly to the FIOS ONT, no Verizon router. Wifi speeds are <400Mbps, usually around 200. Wired connections...
Try enabling WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
You can find other speed diagnosis steps in the community faq: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/Community-FAQ-My-Orbi-speeds-are-slow-inconsistent-and-don-t-my/m-p/1982974/highlight/true#M7849
There is no option to set Coexistence to a certain value, only a checkbox to allow it or not.
Removing the check from the box sets 40Mhz only.
Tried all the recommended actions including a factory reset yesterday. Wifi speeds are still avg around 200-250 Mbps. Any other recommendations?
Use WiFi Sweet Spots on your mobile devices to see what the connection rate is between the RBR and these devices. Turn OFF any RBS before testing. Test with the mobile devices about 6 feet from the RBR.
