WiFi 6E speed slow
I have the RBKE 960 main router connected directly to Verizon Gigabit ethernet cable. At the Verizon cable, I am getting 900/900 download/upload speed. However, connected to WiFi 6E, I barely exceed ...
What ONT is it?
I don't know. But how would ONT brand influence WiFi speed?
Because some do have routing functions built in.
Do you have the orbi set to have a separate 6ghz network? (its possible in the wifi settings)
The ONT is inside Verizon box which can be opened only by Verizon techs. I very much doubt it has any routing built-in. The Orbi is getting the public IP. Even then, when hardwired network speed is 900/900 even at Orbi ethernet port, the WiFi 6E seems to be a problem here.
I do not have a separate 6E network. In one of the previous discussions I had on this forum, I was asked to turn it off.
If you have it turned off, how are you certain its connecting to 6ghz?
Have you tried changing the 6ghz channel?
Are you using parental controls, armor, etc?
