Re: RBR50 Spectrum 400mbps wifi speeds slow
What wifi device are you using to speed test wirelessly?
Be aware that some wifi device may not support much over 400-500Mbps. Check the Mfr's help and support information on what the device should be supporting a far as connection rates and thruput speeds on N and AC modes.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot 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. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Re: RBR50 Spectrum 400mbps wifi speeds slow
The Note I think should see near 400Mbps. Not sure abou the other devices. It all depends on what the wireless adapter in these devices support. Most newer generation wifi adapters should beable to see around 400Mbps or more, 500-600mpbs is about max on AC mode though. I'ts not the Orbi production of speed, it's the devices connecting to Orbi that has to be able to support the speeds. Devices have a meriad of supporting speeds.
