Orbi - Slow upload speeds

Orbi - Slow upload speeds

Here's the issue:

  1. My ISP plan is 200 Mbps Up and Down.
  2. Connected to the router with cable, upload and download speeds are 220 Up and 220 Down.
  3. The mobile app's speedtest shows 220 Up and 220 Down.
  4. On Wifi:
    • Near the satellite or the router, I get Download speeds of 220 Mbps, but 70-90 Mbps Upload.
    • This never happened before, and has baffled me.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks and Regards.

Re: Orbi - Slow upload speeds

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 are you using to check the speed? 

Be sure you are connected to the RBS. Turn OFF the devices wifi radio for 5 seconds then back on while near the RBS? 

 

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.

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
