RBR850 on 4.6.7.5 firmware wifi download isssue
i have a RBR850 on 4.6.7.5 firmware with a single satellite. RBR850 has a static IP address and is bridged by the ISP. I recently upgraded bandwidth to a 1 Gbps down and 500 Mbps up package. If i ...
Hi.
There isn't a double NAT. Router is configured with a static IP address and port 1 on modem is bridged. Like I said....close to full bandwidth internally as on wired.... wireless just blows. A wireless N device gets the same throughput as a wireless AX device.
Need to check the connection rates seen on each wireless devices while connected at the RBR. Turn OFF the RBS so your devices are not connecting to them for now. Check the Mfrs support for supported maximum connection rates for there products. If there AC or AX supporting on 5Ghz, they should be connecting at 1300Mbps at least and may see 2400Mpbs on AX. Even at 1300Mpbs, speeds usually seen on the down will be around 700Mpbs. 2400Mpbs, you should be seeing near 900Mpbs or over. Again depending upon antenna MIMO configuration, 2x2 is ok however is usually limited to lower speeds and generally won't see anything near 900Mpbs. 4x4 antenna configurations you should need 900Mpbs and over if all is working right.
Distance and building materials will be another factor and speeds even at 4x4 connection rates will fall off some.
Just sitting here with my Mac Book Pro AC from my RBR9 series at a distance, its getting around 300 to high 300s however it's connected rate is only 400something. At close range it connects at 1300Mpbs which is it's max rate.
I've already done that test. I'm sitting 6 feet in front of the satellite, i know I'm connected to it. 464 Mbps down and 497 Mbps up. Rarely it will go over 500 Mbps. Since i'm testing with multiple AX devices and they all exhibit the same issue, I'm doubtful this is client side at this point. If I have the router only running.... same experience. Thanks for your help...but I'll be shopping for a new solution.
Good Luck.
