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 ...
a) The hardwired speed at Orbi Ethernet port is 900/900 so it is the WiFi which has poor performance
b) Verizon does not have a separate modem. They have given me a Ethernet cable right from their ONT, so there is no question of double NAT.
What ONT is it?
I don't know. But how would ONT brand influence WiFi speed?
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.
