RBK353 Increase bandwidth up to 50% by repositioning router and satellites.
RBR350, in AP mode + 2 satellites RBS350 Firmware version: V4.4.1.29_3.10.80 Hardware version RBR350 Hardware Type ORBI The problem: When I first connected up the Orbi router (RBR350) and s...
Distance between router and satellite about 5m (15ft) through stair case wood and a single skin brick wall.
Floor area approx 80m^2 (860 sq ft). But this is surely irrelevant because I am not using the WiFi to connect to mobile and IoT devices. The only thing I was interested in and tested was the backhaul bandwidth.
I'm puzzled as to why the recommendation is more than 10m (30ft) because surely the further away, the weaker the signal strength and presumably lower bandwidth.
All this very relevant. And not everyone has a brick wall in between as well, which will also be a factor.
Glad you got some improvements though.
