Re: Orbi in Malaysia
If it comes with Dell-branded card, I'd suggest you replace it with Intel's wireless card. Preferably 9260 or 9560. And make sure you are plugged in and not running on battery to get maximum performance.
I own a Dell Precision. The dell-branded wireless card is very crappy, so I am not surprised that you are not getting the speed you should.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
Thanks, so the bottleneck is the wireless card?
Currently it is the Intel dual band 8265.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
Intel 8265 should not be an issue/bottleneck. Have you ran a speed test with power plugged in and power plan set to balanced?

Not entirely sure about that - that's where I am hoping to get some help here.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
Thanks, just ticked both, MIMO and Beamforming.
Kids jumped at me coz their game all halted! 🙂 LoL!
Ran speedtest, no noticeable improvement.
Still around 50Mbps-60Mbps on wireless on the Dell 7480.
Note8 wirless : 399Mbps download, 47Mbps upload.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
My nightmare has not ended with Orbi yet. 😞
I need to connect 2,4Ghz wifi printer. Is there a way to set 2 visible wifi frequency on the Orbi. Right now I can see one SSID (Auto) only.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
If I am not mistaken, I don't think you can have SSIDs with different frequencies. I believed you can set the guest SSID to be set to 2.4Ghz/5Ghz only.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
Thanks.
Don't think we can change the Guest SSID frequency either. 😞
I have downgraded my Time Fibre plan from 1Gbps to 500Mbps. Save RM60 per month since I am nowhere near 500Mbps speed.
I have also changed the original LAN cable that came with the Orbi to a Cat7 cable, connecting between the Huawei "modem" and the Orbi router. Can see some improvement but still not close to 500Mbps. Will let it settle for a while, perhaps will explore TPLink Deco M9 Plus later.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
Hey there, I am facing the same issue. Not sure if there is a workaround to connect to Astro PVR wirelessly.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
I too have the same problem, Astro PVR doesn't connect to Orbi, however, it can connect to my phone hot-spot. Please advise

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
Temporary workaround is to hook up a wireless AP to existing router and set a different SSID with different channel to connect to Astro PVR exclusively. Seems to be connecting to the D-Link wireless AP without issues, unfortunately no luck with the Orbi.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
Hi guys, just received an email from one of the Orbi user in Malaysia. For those who are unable to connect to the Internet, you may want to change your default DNS setting to Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) / Open DNS (1.1.1.1, 1.1.0.0) in the advance configutation.

Re: Orbi in Malaysia
I have set the vlan and change the dns, but it still not working, should I reset the Orbi and follow your step from beginning?
