What’s with all the buffering?
I switched to the Orbi and got great results on internet speeds, almost double what i was receiving before, but I am also plagued with 4 times the buffering delays. I also have a shorter frequency length with Orbi. I have the RBROrbi50 with satellite and still half of my small home (40’x25’ main floor plan) is lacking internet. Is this a configuration issue and if so, what are the necessary tweaks I need? In my first test I went one floor up and stood directly above the Orbi and had one bar. I walked back, losing the signal and when I got within 18 feet of the main unit I start to get signal back. Is this a configuration error or a faulty product?
