I bought an RBR750 a few months ago and checked my speed from ORBI speed test. It shows 575 which is good since I have around 500. Then I ran several tests from the internet and they show under 200. Why is this so slow? What can I do? I purchased from Costco so I could return it?
I used several different internet speeds tests and all tested about the same. I realize the wifi is going to be a little slow but it is more than 1/2 of the speed I am suppose to get.
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?
What devices do you have connected?
Be sure to speed test with a wired PC connected to the RBR.
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 wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite📡
What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz. Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Wi-fi speeds are very limited depending upon your device and wireless band. The speeds will virtually always be a bit less than what your Orbi speed test is reporting (wired speeds, not wireless).
Ok I am running this test on my galaxy fold 3 newest model. I have 575 MG registering from the modem using the orbi test under the orbi application. This is correct since I have 500mg from the provider. Then when I test again from my phone wirelessly I get under 200mg for a speed. Ok I understand there is a drop in mgs but 300 less? I have tried many internet speed tests all testing around the same.
