I have noticed that my orbi 970 even though showing almost full signal/bars has low internet speeds in some area of the house..Anybody else experience this? im running the latest firmware I have a 3 pack and also the house is only 2300sqft. I have used all the firmware and still have the same issue what could be causing this I've used multiple devices same thing and yes im connected hard wired and cat 6a
I surely answered these questions in the statement above.. Now for which channel each device is using I have no clue the router is in the room below as its a upstairs building and there is another one in the room beside this is wall building fully walled...But what I wanna know is why would it show almost full signal and not getting the speed. Ive used a laptop and a phone so multiple devices as mentioned before.
Remote locations may or may not always see full speed. Building materials, placement and distances and deployment of too many RBS will all impact what is seen in remote locations.
What actual speeds does it get? Is it all the time?
Is it in the same spots?
When its slow, check your device to see if its on the 2.4ghz, 5ghz, or 6ghz. The device allows bandsteering and the 2.4ghz is a slow band. So if you're device happens to be on 2.4ghz when you're testing, it will be slow. But if its on the 5/6ghz, then its worth investigating more.
@FURRYe38 No it's not this because the room beside the router the speeds are like 400mbps, the bathroom in that same room is the issue I get like 6mbps. @plemans yes its all the time, And its on the 5ghz.
And funny enough I've never seen something on the 6ghz band my router only shows 2.4ghz and 5ghz am I suppose to be seeing 6ghz based on the fact I even have a wifi 7 phone and a Mac book capable of 6ghz ? They only connect to 5ghz
Something to test as a quick test. Set WPA3 only security on the main WLAN and see if your 6Ghz phone connect at 6Ghz. Change back to mixed mode after testing. WPA3 is required for 6Ghz radios.
