Slow wifi speed of RBR750
Hi, there, just one question about the wifi performance of RBR 750
My device (RBR 750 with one satellite) has updated firmware, and the internet package is 1GB
However, when I performed the speed check (speedtest.net) on wireless speed (laptop, apple iphone), it only has 400mb speed (consistent results regardless devices I am using), but when I use wired cable to do speed test (cable to connect the RBR750), it shows 900+mb.
I have rebooted the device, no change. and I also confirmed with internet provider that configuration at their end is correct without any issue.
On device management app (iphone), I can see the connection speed profile for laptop is 900mb (just profile, not actual speed), but still the results from speedtest.net is 400mb.
Would you please provide some solution to these issues?
many thanks

Try reading this from duckware. Gives a good understanding of wifi
Understanding Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E/7 (802.11 n/ac/ax/be) (wiisfi.com)
Wifi isn't going to hit the same speeds as wired as well as much of your speed is dependent on your device
When investigating WiFi speed, it is useful to know exactly what capabilities the WiFi devices have.
i.e.
- The specific model of iPhone
- The wireless adapter in the laptop.
It does seem pretty clear that the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is delivering the promised gigabit connection because a wired connection reports the correct speed.
