Re: What’s the expected WiFi speed for RBR 750

I am having the same issue.  I also have ATT fiber.  I get right at 1gb with a wired connection at the fiber router.  If I turn on ATT wifi and connect, I get 900ish mbps up/down.  The ORBI internal speed test shows ~950mbps up/down.  I am getting 500 mbps down 400 up on Orbi wifi regardless of the distance to the unit and if connected to the router or satellite.  When I was adjusting channels, I suddenly dropped to 120 down and 50 up.  Nothing I did would fix it, so I wiped it and reprogrammed.  I am right back to 500/400.  The Orbi is in router mode.  I have tested in AP mode with almost exact results.  There is no other wifi network in the house and I am on several acres, so there is not a ton of wifi traffic showing on my analyzer.  My issue is most certainly in the Orbi, but I am not sure where yet.  I am on .31 firmwar

  • What devices are you testing with?

    Does ethernet connected PC show same speed results connected at the RBR?  

     

    Has this been a issue all along or just recently?
