Need Help with Netgear Orbi

ImperfectSoul47

Hello There,

 

I need help with my Netgear Orbi. I have the RBK53S-100NAS with 2 additional satellites. My router is in the basement, 1 satellite in my living room on the second floor, and the 2nd satellite on the 3rd floor (it's a 3-level above ground townhouse).

 

I have Gigabit internet with Verizon Fios (no modem, connected through ethernet port in the wall). Wired, I get close to 900 mbps down and up (normal, what I expected). However, on my phone (Pixel 2 XL, connected to the 5GHz band), I'm only getting between 250 and 400 mbps. On my desktop (3rd floor, wired to the satellite), I'm only getting between 200 and 300 mbps.

 

Is this normal speeds or is there something wrong?

 

Thanks for your input!

Those speeds are pretty normal for wireless, unless you're in near perfect conditions I wouldn't expect to ever see more than 500Mbps+ on most wireless devices.
