Orbi Query - Will an extra third “bridge” satellite help with daisy chain and overall wifi speed imp
In my current setup I have the Orbi router in the living room, then a satellite each in the bedrooms with closed doors. This is setup using daisy chain topology. I’m in India so we have a lot of interference within our walls and environment. The satellite signal in the “attached devices” page of the setup via the Orbi Desktop Login says "GOOD" for both satellites, but keeps dropping out at intervals. Wondering if I place an extra third satellite in the small bridge hallway between the living and the rooms, would the signals and speed improve for wifi overall across the home? Please reference attached floor plan layout of my home to understand how the router and satellites are setup. I’ve marked the third potential satellite placement as SAT 3 bang in the middle of the main router and the other two satellites. I’m running the latest firmware 2.1.1.16 for my device. Thank you.Speed listed on Netgear Genie much slower than speedtest.net
I am using a netgear C3700 N600 Wifi cable modem router. The router/mdodem is hardwired to my computer When I do a speedtest on Netgear Genie to www.netgear.com it says my download speed from this website is 631 Kbps. When I do a speedtest from www.speedtest.net is says my sownload speed is 88Mbps. Why the marked difference? What is my actual download speed?
