Seriously slow speeds on satellites
Hi, I have an RBR20 orbi router and 2 satellites both rbs20, in my living room and the front of my house I can do speed tests and get speeds of 250mb download and 24mb upload and this is exactly wh...
People post so many problems with Sonos that I am happy not to have invested in them. (or have a need for them).
It might be worth looking at the backhaul statistics. Use the Orbi debug page (//<ip of orbi>/debug.htm), turn on Telnet, and then use a Telnet client (Windows has one that can be turned on on the Programs control panel page - it's a Windows Feature). I use Putty because I like to keep a log of my Orbi session.
Telnet to the Orbi router and type satelliteinfo wifi. Here is what my RBR50 to RBS50 shows:
{
"mac address" : "A0:04:60:0D:96:FA",
"hop" : "1",
"bridge mac" : "A0:04:60:0D:96:FA",
"backhaul conntype" : "5GHz",
"backhaul rssi" : "-68",
"backhaul macaddress" : "A0:04:60:0D:96:FD",
"backhaul phytxrate" : "780",
"backhaul phyrxrate" : "780",
"backhaul parentmac" : "A0:04:60:1C:02:39"
}
It's probably worth asking what the Orbi Attached Devices says about the two satellite. Is their connection "Good"?
