RBR50 upload speed it twice lower than download
I have a single RBR50 in my apartment that works in router mode My ISP gives me 500/500. All devices use wifi connection on 5Hhz When I do a wireless speedtest with macbook pro or iphone X in...
Concrete matierial can effect wireless signal differently.
Can see if any of these suggestions help:
30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. With Concrete, you may need to move RBS closer to the RBR.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
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).
I have no setellites, just a single RBR
2.4hhz channel is set to Auto (Ive seen just my iphone only once switched to 2.4, all other devices work on 5hhz all the time)
5hhz channel is set to 48, the unused one. Ive tried every posibble chanel and the issue is still exist
Beamforming, MIMO and WMM enabled
Where can I find the last settings you mentioned?
Well there is another consideration as well. Having a single wifi source with concrete around, the single source can only do so much. You might want to consider adding a RBS to help with this building configuration.
Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Addind a satellite will make the signal stronger but will not increase speed I think
I cant see Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only in Advanced\Advanced setup\wireless settings
Here is what I have
plus MIMO and Beamforming lower

You might find Armor and Circle under Security. If that is if you enabled them upon initial setup.
Fast Roaming maybe towards the bottom of the advanced wireless settings page.
IPv6 will be under Advanced Settings.
Uncheck the check box next to 20/40Mhz Coexistence. This will set 40Mhz only.
