My ORBI 970 HAVING DEAD SPOTS
I have noticed that my orbi 970 even though showing almost full signal/bars has low internet speeds in some area of the house..Anybody else experience this? im running the latest firmware I have a 3 ...
What do you consider slow speeds?
What actual speeds does it get? Is it all the time?
Is it in the same spots?
When its slow, check your device to see if its on the 2.4ghz, 5ghz, or 6ghz. The device allows bandsteering and the 2.4ghz is a slow band. So if you're device happens to be on 2.4ghz when you're testing, it will be slow. But if its on the 5/6ghz, then its worth investigating more.
And funny enough I've never seen something on the 6ghz band my router only shows 2.4ghz and 5ghz am I suppose to be seeing 6ghz based on the fact I even have a wifi 7 phone and a Mac book capable of 6ghz ? They only connect to 5ghz
