Orbi RBR40 Wifi Speed

[stjohnson87]

I've recently updated from 100 - 400 Mbps Spectrum service but am not able to achieve these speeds from WiFi. When I plug directly into the Cable Modem or RBR40 I have seen speeds of 350-450 Mbps. On WiFi (including connection of a PC to a satelitte) I am only getting speeds of 100-120 Mbps.

I have reviewed and updated my Orbi settings based on this community post - https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Most-Stable-Orbi-Configuration/m-p/1941087/highlight/true#M970.... Are there any other suggestions I might be missing?

wifi is never going to give you what you may think

alot of it has to do with distance, building material, wifi adapter, etc.

you'll get lots of questions on how to 'increase' your wifi speed.  if it works, it works, otherwise get ready to spend several days or more in trouble shooting mode
