Orbi WiFi Speed

Hello,

I had new internet service installed today (300 Down / 20 Up).  Speed tests from the Orbi app and hardwired to the router show great speeds.  However, when I run any kind of speed test when connected to WiFi, the best download speed I can get is 13MB.  This is from broth iPhones and laptops.  Both Beamforming and Mu-MIMO are enabled. 

 

Not sure if there is a problem with a setting or if this is related to a firmware issue.  Current firmware is 2.1.2.18.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Ben

Re: Orbi WiFi Speed

Have you tried to remove all device from the wifi and then connect just 1 device and test the speed? it could be some older wifi device slowing the network down.

I was able to resolve the problem on my own. 

 

ADVANCED -> ADVANCED SETUP -> Enable WMM

 

Somehow multimedia settings enable more bandwidth?

Re: Orbi WiFi Speed

WMM is enabled by default.

You should not disable WMM.
