Yesterday
I did a speed test with my Macbook Air, using wifi from the Netgear N600
110mbps Up, 20 Down
I removed the N600 and using the same cables, installed the brand new RBE 770 satellite. The speeds were half that.
Now just did the test again this morning.
And everything is excellent.
460 up, 21 Down.
Nothing changed? but I'll take the results
Any suggestions on how to improve the download speed.
I disable killer analytics on my PC and the speed tripled.
Thanks for replying

Is the brand and model# of the PC and it's brand and model # of the ethernet or wireless adapter installed in the PC?
Happens with a different PC?
What speeds should you be seeing?
IF the Orbi system is working then would have zero need for the old router. That is many years old and out dated and no longer supported and would be a security risk.
What Firmware version is currently loaded on the Orbi system?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
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.

Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Protection Engine, Traffic Meter.
Which ISP are you connected too?
Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status and event log page.
