RBS750 Slow Speeds wireless and wired
Trying to resolve why within the last few weeks all of a sudden my satellites has become slow and periodically unresponsive. Nothing has changed in position or router or satellites. This is both wireless and wired. While at the same time the router is putting out great speed wireless and wired.

- Please check in the Orbi web GUI under >> Attached Devices >> what is the connection type between satellites and the router. Is it 2.4 or 5 GHz?
When a satellite changes the backhaul connection to 2.4 GHz usually the speeds of devices connected through this satellite will get slower. If the satellite can’t see the 5GHz signal from the router means likely that it’s far away from the router, so please try to get them closer or remove any blocking objects in between. - I have the same problem, I tried updating to the latest firmware and still slow
I used to consistently get 1-200 Mbps, but now only about 15Mbps. No change in satellite position, no new devices
Started 1-2 weeks ago but- Satellite is connected to router using 2.4GHz
- Satellites connected on 2.4 GHz band will for sure cause lower speeds for the devices connected to those satellites.
Please get the satellites closer or remove any obstacles in between. Another way is -if possible- use cables in between. You can also use Ethernet over powerline if possible.
