Orbi router rbr40 wired to computer slow connection
I hooked up a Orbi rbk43. Which contains rbr40 router and 2 rbr20 satellites. I have Spectrum 400 internet. When I first set it up my desktop was hooked to the router I got 450mbps and WiFi 150mbps. I test my speed the other day on my desktop and I was getting 50mbps. I have not done anything yet because wanted to get some suggestions first.
Re: Orbi router rbr40 wired to computer slow connection
What Firmware is currently loaded? What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
I would first speed test wired with the RBR whilet both RBS are turned OFF. Then wireless speed test with the RBR. Try different wireless devices to compare.
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.
What channels are you using? Auto? 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?
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: Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
