I have notice the orbi wifi speed test shows me a Total different speed result from what its pushing out. I have a 1gb wifi orbi shows im getting 950mb on the app. On the wifi speed test im getting l...
I don't think this is 100% accurate at all. I have the orbi 970 I had 250mb service at start my wifi use to show me the entire 250 plus more, I upgraded to gb service and im seeing 400 to 500mb on wifi. I have seen other person getting almost the full 1gb speed on wifi, im right next to the router and still gets like 400-500 that's crazy.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
Which internal speed test are you running, the RBRs web page? Orbi app?
What wireless device are you using?
What do you see when using a wired PC and Ooklas installable speed test app while connected to the back of the RBR?
I don't think none of this matter based on the fact I just told you we had 250mb before getting speeds of 270-300
upgraded to 1gb and now getting speeds on the orbi speed test of 950mb but on the regular ookla online its 500-600
im using 6a cable I have 3 units house is not too big, system states all satellites are good.
It would be very helpful to know the specific model of Orbi and the specific WiFi device that is running the speed test.

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

This is a Caribbean provider

im getting correct speeds on the orbi net test
im getting correct speed direct wire test
im getting correct speeds on the orbi app test
im testing using a Mac book pro, iPhone, Mac mini
im getting correct speeds hard wired to Mac mini
using Speedtest.net
Once I use the cell phone and test wifi speeds I get half
Once I plug out the cord from Mac mini and use wifi I get half
Mac book pro 14inch latest model half
On the orbi web page all connections are good
I am using 6a cables wired the three mesh
I also disconnected the hard wire used wifi still got half the speed.
