iPad Pro on new ORBI RBKE963
UPGRADED TO ORBI RBKE963 AND NOW IPAD PRO CONNECTS AT ABOUT 12 MPS WHILE TV CONNECTS AT 51 MBPS. TV connects over Ethernet cable to ORBI, iPad & iPhone over WiFi. (TV is 100% Internet based. Inter...
Our Internet is 50 mbps , so Cat 5 at 100 mbps is still faster than our internet service. The main TV is connected via that Cat 5 cable and is running at 51 mbps, which is our Internet provider’s speed. But shouldn’t wifi be as fast with the new ORBIs? Cat 6 wouldn’t be any faster than the internet speed we receive - 50 mbps.
I used to get nearly 48 on my iPad, with the ORBI cubes, with everything running - TVs, phones, laptops, iPads. Now, with everything else turned off, no other users connected, the fastest I can get on iPad over wifi is 25 and usually just about 12 with one other connection. Shouldn’t the new ORBI be at least as good as the old?
Is the pad connected to the RBR when doing speed tests?
Turn off the RBS and run speed tests with the pad connected at the RBR.
What iOS is loaded on the pad?
What generation is the iPad Pro?
Thank you
Turning off the satellite made the iPad reach 53 mbps!ios 16.4.1
iPad Pro 11” year prior to 2019
Does this mean I can’t use the satellites to extend my range?
Seems like the pad maybe seeing lower speeds is all when connected to the RBS is all. Or the location of the pad from the RBR, though even closer to the RBS, seems to be picking the RBR connection rather then the RBS...
I connect at the top speed with the satellites unplugged completely, so that is a workaround for using the iPad - just stay close to the router. Unfortunately, that defeats the purpose of the mesh system, of extending the range throughout the home - if I can’t use the satellites at all.
