Hi everyone, apologies for asking the same question as everyone else. However, I had an IT person come to the house and he couldn't solve this problem either. Orbi RBR 750 Computer: 2019 Mac...

If your not seeing better speeds after the reset, RBR could be faulty. Return and find another.

FURRYe38 thank you for this education- it will be helpful for others I am sure.
Disconnected satellites and no change whatsoever. (Actually slower)
Since I have a wired house would it make more sense to buy two Nighthawks and return the Orbi?
Thank you again

Try a factory reset on the RBR and setup from scratch. Be sure to not enable any Armor or Smart Parental controls.
Set 40Mhz only and CTS to 2347 Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Set manual channels 1 and 40 or 11 and 48.
Speed test with Ooklas installable speed test app on the Mac.
You should be able to see around 700Mpbs with the RBR...
That's up to you.

Ok. Tried the factory reset. Manually set channels.
No change.
Do you think the unit is defective?
