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 ...
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?
The phone has an indicator which shows 6E against the WiFi signal strength indicator and that is how I know.
I have tried turning on the 6E channel and results are the same.
I am not using parental controls. Netgear Armor shows it is in use but I have not configured anything to use it. Not sure if I can disable it. I do not need it.
Did you try testing different 6ghz channels on the orbi?
Or testing a different 6ghz capable device?
