Unstable/inconsistent speed on Orbi RBK 852 AX6000 after upgrade to Spectrum Gigabit
Hi, All - New member of the community here. I set up my new Orbi RBK 852 system (with two satellites) last Friday, replacing a series of Apple Airports I had been using for some time. I had ...
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Be sure that CTS and RTS values are changed to 2346 under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
What happens if you disable AX mode to test...
Yes, NG seems to have started using 64 as a new default for those values. Seen odd problems since they started doing that. Seen some problems fixed by having users chane back to the old default values.
Experiement only. I would disable it now. Then see how the system works with the new CTS values. If it seems to stablize and fix your problem, then re-enable AX mode.
Furry -
Changing the CTS and RTS values seems to have produced consistent improvement. I did not tinker with the AX at this point; if I have more issues I will.
It also seems that I consistently get better/faster results if I use a server that is farther away for a speedtest. I don't understand that.
Some test servers are busier than others.
Glad changing the CTS values helped.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
That modem is a dog and a half. If you get spectrum 1gig Service they force that modem on you, they won't activate a user owned modem for that service. I had some of the same issues you're having and couldn't figure it out so I swapped out their modem for a new one and it's working fine,
Check the dslreports.com website, there are boatloads of complaints about that modem. They distribute it under three different names, but it's the same modem.
