I just got an RBR850 with one router and one satellite.
The bandwidth is far more better than the previous TP-Link I got except for the ping time.
RBR850 router is at the same place than the TP-Link and with the TP-Link I got a 2ms ping no matter where I test in the flat.
With RBR850 it is a 15ms ping !
And more the ping ms when I ping the RBS850 satellite which is in the same room, the ping ms is 15ms and sometimes, every 6/8 ping, ping is 170ms !!
I search a lot in the forum and Internet but sadly didn't find any solution to correct this.
It seems that a lot of people have bad ping with Orbi system. I try everything I could like last FW, factor reset and so on, but ping is always bad. On the router itself ping is 0ms so it is a Orbi WIFI issue for sure.
Again, bandwidth is far more better than the TP-Link, solving the bad ping ms will be cherry on the cake.
This tests with a MacBook but tests with Raspberry Pi or PC are the same.
RBR ping (from the room with RBS) :

RBS ping (in the same room)

ISP router from the same room RBS :
\ping 192.168.1.1 -c 4 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=166.326 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=7.577 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=36.089 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=58.130 ms
ISP router is a french LiveBox with fiber 2*1 Gbps
test speed from RBR which is cable cat6 connected :
937.36 Mbps - 604.23 Mbps
Tests from a Raspberry connected to the LiveBox :
ping 0ms Download : 937 Mbps Upload : 598 Mbps
Again, 1/2 ms ping with same tests with TP-Link but bad bandwidth with TP-Link
It was a simple router with all device connected on it, an AX3000 or Archer AX55.
RBR852 is very good, if I found how to correct the ping issue and how to change the 5 GHz channel to 52 where no neighbor is, it would be perfect !
New tests, ping RBR850 from wireless :

Ping on a system that uses two access points (router & satellite) will never be as fast as ping on a single access point.
That said, these results appear to give the impression of a LOT of WiFi interference.
On the second point, this cannot be done . Depending on country, Orbis are set to specific 5G WiFi channels (one 80Mhz frequency band for user devices and a separate 80Mhz band for backhaul). This is not a setting that the user can change.
This may be a result of the way the FCC regulates different frequencies.
Channel 52, for example, is one of the frequencies called DFS/TCP in the United States and Canada. See:
