Orbi AC3000 - Slow wifi, and is getting worse

[mrmattis]

Hello

I have the following system.

Modem - Bridge.

RBR50 - Routermode - Auto Channel - Last firmware.

RBS - Last firmaware.

Backhaul - Wifi - Good connection.

When connecting with cable i get 500/500 from modem and satelitt, and this is what I pay for.

The first day when i connected the system I got about 400/400 on wifi, short distance from the router.

The next day average is about 200/200 short distance from router or satelitt.

I have tried factory reset, and nothing helps. 

Beamforming is activated, and the rest is default.

My Aimesh had better performance on wifi, but it was unstable.

Where has my wifi speed gone? Cable speed is 100% up/down, and the system i stable, but slow on wifi.

Thanks for posting back. Glad that you have some beta FW for your RBR50. Sounds like its working better for you. Keep us posted. Hope the new beta comes to the community soon. 

Mark your post as resolved so others will now.

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

What devices do you have connected to the system, wireless and wired. 

What devices are you using to speedtest wireless with? 

Wired speed tests working to spec? 

Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What WPA security modes are you using? Should be WPA2 and AES only. 

Enable MIMO and check speeds.

Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Any progress on this?

2.2.2.20? This is an Orbi Pro software, do you have an Orbi Pro?

I don't think there is yet a beta software for Orbi called 2.2.2.20.
