RBR50 low mbps speeds and upload speeds

Hi all- hoping someone can give me some guidance here. My orbi speeds have been horrible I am paying for 500mbps and only getting maybe 250 and also a lot of disconnection issues. Can someone please tell me what my settings should be? Kids are home and I am working from home desperately need the internet to work correctly. Thank you

Re: RBR50 low mbps speeds and upload speeds

You should be seeing this on wired ethernet speeds. Wireless, depends on Mfr of the wifi devices. Most max out  at around 400-500Mpbs on 5Ghz AC mode. Less for older wifi devices. 

 

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 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. https://https://https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
