Slow Netflix Speeds on TiVo Wired to Orbi Satellite
I have an Orbi system set up with the router in my basement, Satellite 1 on the first floor and Satellite 2 on the second floor. Wireless speed is pegged at 120 Mbps down for devices where I can measure speed (iPads, iPhones, HP desktop, lenovo laptop) when connected to satellites or router. Wired to Satellite 2, with wireless adapter turned off on the desktop and laptop each show 1Gbps connection and internet download speeds pegged at 120 Mbps. Here's my issue. I have a TiVo Bolt+ wired to Satellite 1 and a TiVo mini wired to Satellite 2 (both with cat6 cables). Through the Netflix app on the Bolt+, I consistently see 33 Mbps download speed wired AND wireless when I disconnect the cable. Through the Netflix app on the Mini, I see 6 Mbps download speed wired. Has anyone else seen speed download limitations with TiVos connected to Orbis in this way? Any solutions?How would you suggest I add another router to my Orbi system so I can have satellite ethernet port?
I bought the Orbi system which has been working very well. I have a tivo mini in my bedroom the requires a wired ethernet port. Neither the satellite nor the main router is in the bedroom. So, two questions: 1) can I just add a cheaper netgear router in my bedroom to join the orbi network so I can add an ethernet port fo rmy tivo to plug into? 2) Which netgear device would you recommend? I need something the transmits very quickly as Tivo demands lots of bandwidth. Thank you in advance!
