6 G to Satellite is slow
I ran a speedtest of my Orbi97 in the interface and it is showing 66mbps download speed. My laptop has a 6G connection to a satellite with a strong signal, and while it normally gets pretty good spe...
"latest firmware" is v10.5.20.10, issued Jan 18, 2026. Right?
Is there a pattern to this problem?
How long does the speed remain slow before returning to normal?
How is the M4 laptop connected to the Orbi system?
- Ethernet or WiFi?
- Router or one of the satellites?
Firmware Version
V10.5.20.10_2.2.51 I can't see a pattern. Like sometimes in the morning it will be normal speed, and then it bogs down.
Could be down at slow speed for 30 minutes or more. The M4 is on Wifi, and may connect either to the router or the satellite. Sometimes the satellite connection to the router seems like it is not working well. Because it was not working well, I turned off the satellite to see. The speed with direct connection was showing the same symptoms. I turned the satellite back on and currently I am connected to it and the speed is back to normal.
Would be good to test the M4 laptop over ethernet to see if it sees same issue.
Also use manual channels 1 and 40 or 11 and 48.
Been beta testing FW for the 770v1 series. Looking good. Hoping NG will push this soon. Will be in small batches.
