Re: Slower than advertised speeds AX4200?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What Speeds up and down do you pay for from your ISP?
15 feet between the RBR abd RBS is too close. 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

I've seen speeds around 600-700Mpbs with my 12Max on a 1Gb ISP line. Thats about the higher limit for these models I believe.

Re: Slower than advertised speeds AX4200?
Are you getting near 900Mpbps at the RBR with a PC or laptop?
Turn OFF the RBS and connect the iphone to the RBR. Speed test with Ooklas installable speed test app on the phone.
Also I mis-spoke about iphone speeds, They will max agout at around 400-500Mpbs, not 600-700. This is due to the antenna configuration on the iphones. 2x2. IF they supported 4x4, then the speeds would be higher.
Here is a test with my Iphone 12 Max and RBR 850:

Hard wire to my MacBook, I'm getting 850 down 970 up, what is rbr and RBS, like I said newbie here
RBR is the router, RBS are the satellites.
Are your satellites wired or wireless?
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
If wired, what cable size was used, as wrong size can cause slow speed.

You might upgrade the system to v12 and if you see some improvement.
Load the RBS first then RBR lastly. I would factory reset then setup from scratch. I'd speed test with the RBS off line or sync them later after speed testing.
