Orbi Rbs50 satellite being slow
2 android fire boxes and my ps4 months ago used to run 300+. I’ve checked my firmware and hard reset everything several times. It says the firmware on all 4 is up to date. Any ideas anybody?

Re: Orbi Rbs50 satellite being slow
- How do you see the Satellites attached to the Router in the Orbi app, in star or Daisy Chain topology?
- Do you have Daisy Chain activated in the advanced wireless settings?

They have all synced great and the tech was able to plug his device in and they all showed to have around 400. Problem is I’m running speed tests on the devices hardwired into the satellites and not even pushing 100mgb.
What did the tech plug into each of the satellites to show 400mb?
(p.s. It is impressive that the tech would do this. Most of them seem to lose interest at the ethernet jack on the modem.)

Re: Orbi Rbs50 satellite being slow
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 when wirelessly connected.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
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).

I have 400 mgb Spectrum internet speed and recently just had a tech come out to check on some issues I’ve been having. I can run speed tests at my main computer that’s hardwired to the orbi router and have speeds over 400. I have 3 satellites placed in 3 different rooms so I can hardwire into the satellites. They have all synced great and the tech was able to plug his device in and they all showed to have around 400.

Re: Orbi Rbs50 satellite being slow
With everything I’ve read so far it seems like it’s a firmware that I need to manually download or some backhaul issue I have know idea the proper way to fix. The firmware now is v2.3.5.50. But my biggest question is the dynamic dns service. I’ve had to reset my equipment up several times because of similar issues and had to re-register it through NETGEAR. Now that I’ve had this equipment for a couple years it’s not letting me. Coincidence???

Regarding Dynamic DNS, this is a software issue since a long time ago. To overcome this just go to the Dynamic DNS settings under >> ADVANCED >> Advanced Setup >> Dynamic DNS and uncheck Use a Dynamic DNS Service then click on Apply and then check back the settings and Apply again. Try Show Status after that and you can see that your DDNS will be updated correctly after that. 🙂
It seems that this issues happens every time Orbi Router is restarted.
