RBK852 slow WiFi
Hey y’all I have broadband service and get 50-70 mbps over an old Apple AirPort Extreme. I installed my orbi and one satellite and the WiFi speed is capped at 10mbps. I thought it maybe increase...
1. Dell is wireless. No Ethernet port available for hardwired connection.
2. Yes ax is checked. Yes spa-psk aes checked.
I am not a tech guy (obviously). Didn’t change any settings, was going this would work out of the box. It doesn’t for me.
Last 2. Yes yes.
Thank you for trying.

I think it would really help if we isolate whether the issue with the Orbi's connection to your router, or if it is just the wireless. If you have access to a USB-to-Ethernet dongle then you can connect an ethernet cable to your Dell laptop and see if there is any change.
It doesn't sound like there is anything you have setup wrong or differently from the rest of us using the Orbi AX at high speeds.
- Ok. Found an old docking station.
Ethernet from Mikrotik to laptop. Download 40 mbps upload 11 ping 40. (About expected for time of day).
Ethernet from orbi to laptop. Download 9 upload 8 ping 33. Test conducted within 2 minutes of mikrotik to laptop test.Try a different laptop if you have one or can barrow on.
Ensure wifi adapter drivers are up to date for th Dell laptop.
What is the mfr and model # of the wifi adapter installed in the Dell laptop.

I have plugged in an AirPort Extreme directly to Mikrotik. Get 40mbps+ wirelessly on all devices Mac and PC.
I plugged in laptop to Mikrotik. Get 40 mbps+.
I plug in orbi to Mikrotik. Get 10 mbps-.
The problem seems to be based in the orbi, not the model and mfg and firmware of other devices, right?
