Setting up New RBR850 from RBR50 with OnQ set up
So looking for suggestion for a smooth transition if possible. I just purchased a RBR850 and trying to get some suggestions on setting up my new system and transferring all my information from my Or...
Thanks so much! Already took screen shots.l Regarding logging into the rbr 850, with another computer directly attach to the rbr850 via ethernet and logon with the orbilogin.net and not attached to internet?
Correct.
- Well got everything installed and copied all settings but getting horrible download speeds and great upload speeds. Compared to my RBR 50 getting about 100-150Mb slower speeds on downloads. Notice slight buffering with streaming. I was happy with my RBR 50 but hoping that the RBR850 would be that much quicker and more for me. Wondering what I need to tweak to achieve that. However that’s hard to do when your trying to do telemedicine and kids doing e-learning through this time. Any other suggestions?
Be sure to check your CTS and RTS values. If they are at 64, please change both to 2346. Reboot both RBR and wireless devices.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
- Thanks will give this a try and report back. Also wondering if my Ethernet gigabit switches are causing instability. I was wired for my backhaul so I will try it with wireless
