Unstable/inconsistent speed on Orbi RBK 852 AX6000 after upgrade to Spectrum Gigabit
Hi, All - New member of the community here. I set up my new Orbi RBK 852 system (with two satellites) last Friday, replacing a series of Apple Airports I had been using for some time. I had ...
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Be sure that CTS and RTS values are changed to 2346 under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
What happens if you disable AX mode to test...
Ok, just checking for router with the modem. No router here.
I would say Orbi is working well. Wireless speeds again will be based on enviroment, noise and device design and support.
IF your getting near 900Mpbs on the wire, it's working...I know mine does. Though to get near 900Mpbs on wireless, I usually have to connect up my ASUS GT-AX11000 wireless bridge and I do see good speeds there. Thats the only AX client I have currently. I believe my D-Link DWA-192 adapter seen near 900Mpbs as well.
I guess what I'm struggling to understand is why, with a much faster connection, I would be seeing speeds lower than my old 350 at any time when I really did not before. Also, the instability seems odd.

Furry -
I just changed the RTS and CTS values. Will see how that works out; they were set to 64 or something like that, whatever the default would have been because I haven't touched it.
We live on a corner in a typical suburban neighborhood, so there are definitely wifi neighbors but we generally have not had issues with interference.
Wouldn't turning off AX mode negate the benefit of having purchased this router versus the less expensive Orbi? Or are you suggesting that just as an experiment?
Thanks.
