Wired to Wireless data loss

Setup RBR50/Orbi AC300 + three RBS50 Satellites. Firmware: V2.7.2.102.

 

We've just recently switched to Google Fiber with an average up/down of 950 Mbps wired. The average wireless speed throughout the house is 300 Mbps.

 

This seems like a massive loss between wired and wireless. Are there any settings on the router I can change to improve on the wireless speeds? I believe all settings are currently default.

 

Thank you in advance.

Re: Wired to Wireless data loss

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.

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or may not 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. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

You'll not see anything near 900Mpbs on 5Ghz AC. Most devices max out at around 400-500Mbps depending upon there design and support. WIred speeds you should see near 900Mpbs. Orbi is cabable of that on the wire only.
