Orbi RB50 very slow speed
Hi Guys,
I recently bought the rb50 orbi system for my home.
i am subscribed to 1gbps fibre internet.
however, on wifi I only get 80-100 usually.
20-30gbps occasionally and rarely get a maximum of 300plus gbps.
may I know what your experience is? could it be a setup problem?
i tried call the hotline and all they could advise was for me to change the 2.4g channel which didnt help too much.

You wrote that your router was in the corner of the house wth brick walls. You could move it closer to the center. In the corner you are wasting half of the circle of coverage. Similar issue with the satellite.
You might get even better results if you could move the satellite into the center of the house, and put two sats on the other floor, one towards each end. You don't want more than you need though.
I cover a 3,000 SF 3-level home with 1 router and 1 sat, and I can get a usable signal out in the yard up to 500 feet away. But, those results may not be typical because I have a lot of windows and no other WiFi sources nearby.
