Re: Orbi RBR50 is not supporting 900Mb+- on the WAN to LAN test

With the latest firmware v2.5.1.8, Orbi is able to hit ~900Mbps in AP Mode or ~700Mbps in Router Mode.

Wireless backhaul is around 400Mbps-500Mbps:

Thanks for your information.

I can also confirm that with the new firmware (V2.5.0.108) installed it is working much better. I'm getting a much higher speed (~900Mpbs).

I presume you mean v2.5.1.8? 

 

Glad it's working. Enjoy.Smiley Wink

Re: Orbi RBR50 is not supporting 900Mb+- on the WAN to LAN test

Good Morning:  I am running the RBK53S-100NAS from (Costco) (Firmware V2.5.1.8) on a Macbook Air (Catalina OS) everything is updated.  I had ATT Fiber 300 Msps and I could easily get ~ 350 down and ~350 up using the Orbi on Wifi.  I ugraded to ATT Fiber 1000 and using the Orbi in the Router mode, I can only get ~ 380 down and ~ 400 max up.  I called Netgear supprt (2.5 hrs on the phone) and they said I should be getting ~ 500 Mbps down and up via Wifi.  Hardwired I am close to 850 -900 Mbps.  Should I return this router and try another brand?

I changed the 5GHz channel (i think from 44 to 42) and now my wifi speeds are 362 and 460 so that's a bit better.  Still not close to 500+ as I was told.  Thanks
