Found on the routers and RBS IP address/debug.htm web page for best details, please post both RBR and RBS uptime. Please note of any inconsistencies between the RBR and RBS. Generally the RBR and RBS uptime should be same. Home wide power brown outs should be noted if these are seen. Thank you.
Orbi RBR350 + 2 satellites internet speed question
Hi! I use a RBR350 Orbi connected to 2 RBS350 satellites in my house with 2 floors. There is a big concrete wall in the middle of the house. So basically, the router and the RBR350 are downstairs, on one side of the wall. Internet speed is around 500Mb/s there. Me and my partner are working on the 2nd floor, on two separate rooms. The best configuration I found is the following: First satellite is on my desk, on the same side of the wall as the router and Orbi, but 2 floors above. I get around 180 Mb/s with my Macbook Pro M1 Max with an ethernet cable. A little less in WiFi. Second satellite is on my partner's desk, on the same floor but on the other side of the wall, so I use the first satellite as a bridge to the second one. On her cheaper Asus laptop, she gets around 90 Mbs/s with ethernet. My question is: will I be able to gain some speed at the second floor with another Orbi system? I can't have ethernet cables directly from the router ATM. Thanks in advance. Cheers! MaxSonos and Chromecast wGTV connecting to 2.4g
Hi, I've read reams of similar problems but no solutions seem to work / fit. I have an Orbi RBR350 V4.20.0.4_3.100.71. Currently 3 laptops, 3 phones, a cat feeder, a Sonos One Gen 2 and a Chromecast with Google TV connected. The Chromecast and the Sonos both insist on connecting to 2.4GHz, phones and laptops are on 5GHz. This means I can't cast from phone or laptop to these media pllaers as the phone etc can't "see" them. I have turned 2.4GHz down to 25%, doesn't appear to be an option to turn it off, and ideally I would prefer not to as the cat feeder is 2.4 only. The Ccwgtv is less than 1 metre from the Orbi, the Sonos is across the room, approx 4m in line of sight. Any ideas how to force these two devices onto 5GHz/. Thanks
