Slow wifi speeds when using Orbi AC3000 (RBR50 and 2 RBS50) and Arris SB8200 Cable Modem
Hi, I have a very unique and frustrating issue which I am hoping to resolve. I don’t believe that I am the only one facing this issue so I hope my post will help others also. My current problem is; my...
Hi,
I'm also having problems with low wifi speed with the AC3000. I have a 1Gigabit plan and when using cable with the router, I can see speed rates on appr. 800mbit however when turning to wi-fi, the speed drops to appr. 200-250 mbit. I'm using the latest FW 2.1.4.16. Have tried with speedtest and bredbandskollen.se (swedish site) and get the same result. Please advise!
Wifi speeds will not be attained any where near 900Mb. Max limitation on Wifi in ideal or optimal conditions are currently around 400-500Mb depending upon client side device HW design and support. You'll have to contact the Mfr of your devices to see what there actual wifi speed thruput is.

HI Furrye38 and thanks for the reply.
I've continued my tests and there's a remarkable inconsitency when it comes to performance. Over the last 2 days, my wifi speed has been around 60-70 mbit/s on a 1Gigabit plan. Did a factory reset which seemed to "solve" the issue and I could see speeds up to 500-600 mbit/s, however now it's back to 60 mbit and that can't be expected..
What are the wired speed test results after a couple of days?
What channels are you using? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

- Did you ever get it solved. I’ve had the same problem for the past year. Inconsistent speeds.
