RBR50 / RBK50 speed issues
So I bought an Orbi RBR50 (says RBR50 in the app, but RBK50 is written on the box) router and satellite about 3-4 months ago. Got it going with the satellite, wifi all over the house, but the speed h...
Did you test the speed with multiple devices ?
What are they ?
For exemple, my Pixel 2 XL is buggy with orbi (slow and unreliable speed), but any other device give me full speed.
I've tested with my phone (OP5) the brothers phone (OP7) over wifi, and always get around 100ish mb. Maybe slightly more but not by muc
My mum's laptop is a little old, so it only gets 100mb over the wired connection at best...
I've tested it with my brand new PC (built on 21/08), and got 1000mb on the original router I got from my ISP. It's the only device in the house really capable of getting a wired connection speed that high, but considering I got a good speed with the stock router, I'm sure it should at least be getting speeds higher than 500mb from the Orbi router when plugged in. It also has wifi 6, so the wifi test should be giving me more than the 100mb i'm getting.
I feel like the router is throttling my devices, not letting any single device take up too much bandwith. But I thought disabling wifi and all other devices other than the PC would let it use up the full bandwith on its own
