Slow download = Fast Upload
Hi - using SpeedTest, I continually get around 40-60Mbps download vs. 150+Mbps upload. I am on the latest firmware, and am on the 5G network on either the satellite or router - same speeds.
Any ideas on why this would be happening and potential fixes? I've changed the 5GZ channels a few times with little change.

..and one other thing - I hardwired to the FIOS router, and I get 150/150 - so that's not the issue.

Have you enabled beamforming or mumimo? also have you tried to re position your satellite?

Yes - I have tried with both of those settings on and off with little difference. I have not moved the satellite around, as I get fast performance on upload, so that’s likely not the issue?

Do you have orbi set up as a AP or in router mode? if in router mode do you have your FiOS router bridged?

Re: Slow download = Fast Upload
Here are some sample tests over several days. A couple of days had good upload/download, but almost all have significantly lower download than upload speeds.

Unfortunately not. Actually seems slower than before - household is complaining.

Re: Slow download = Fast Upload
I experience the same thing. I notice it on my phone a lot and it's happened across different phones, not just one type or manufacturer. When I reboot the phone, though, I get full speed again. Not sure what is causing the communication issue, but reboot always corrects it. Been like this since I got the Orbi in May.
