RBK 50 transmit power control
I have an RBR50 + 2 satellites with the latest firmware. Moved homes - have a 1 Gbps internet connection. The apartment I moved into is smaller than my earlier multi storey house. I get 500- 600 Mbps...
You won't hit 866mbps. That's link speed. Actual throughput tends to be 55-65% of what link speed is.
so if you're hitting 500-600mbps, you've pretty much maxed it out.
How big is the current apartment?
You might be better with disabling a satellite (not sure how many you have).
And they need at least 30ft between router/satellites to roam properly. that might be part of the issue to.
You can experiment with turning down the transmit power. It might help. All you can do is try.
Transmit power control affects only the user facing radios, not the router-satellite backhaul links.
- Thanks for the information..much appreciated.
