Slower than advertised speeds AX4200?
Hello, Newbie here, I just bought this ax4200 RBR750, and was wondering why my speed is not where it should be, I have hooked up directly to my fiber box, not a modem, (I was told) this fiber box does...
V3.2.16.22, I'm paying for 1 gig up/down, DTC communications is my isp provider, the "fiber box" has no info on it, literally a black box with lights in front of it, and ethernet ports in back of it, of which I have my orbi router connected to it via ethernet
Are you getting near 900Mpbps at the RBR with a PC or laptop?
Turn OFF the RBS and connect the iphone to the RBR. Speed test with Ooklas installable speed test app on the phone.
Also I mis-spoke about iphone speeds, They will max agout at around 400-500Mpbs, not 600-700. This is due to the antenna configuration on the iphones. 2x2. IF they supported 4x4, then the speeds would be higher.
Here is a test with my Iphone 12 Max and RBR 850:
- Hard wire to my MacBook, I'm getting 850 down 970 up, what is rbr and RBS, like I said newbie here

Are your satellites wired or wireless?
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
If wired, what cable size was used, as wrong size can cause slow speed.- Satellite is wireless, I don't even get all those options when I log into my router, like wmm, mumimo and other stuff
