Upgraded fiber network, but wifi same speed. What to do?
I have a fiber network into the house and the Orbi RBR20 AC220 as wifi. Been 100 Mbit/s on both and worked well. Now I upgraded the fiber to 250 Mbit/s with new router. Wired network in house produces 250 Mbit/s, but the wifi is still on 100Mbit/s. What do I need to do the change the speed on the wifi as well?
Tnx!

WiFi speed is a function of the device capability and the distance from the WiFi access point. On the Orbi "app", what does it report for the "Link Rate" to each device?
If you use Excel, there is a spreadsheet that displays the information for every device:

Re: Upgraded fiber network, but wifi same speed. What to do?
It certainly looks like most of the mobiles and the computer should support more than 100mbs.
I am at a loss.
