25Mbps Rate Limit
I have a client who has an RBR50 system, running the latest firmware, one unit acting as the router with two satellites around hose house for his tablets and cell phones. He gets good coverage and gr...
FURRYe38 thanks for the quick reply.
Wouldany of the items you mentioned have an impact on hard wire connection to the router?
I tried disabling the wireless adapter, using only the Gigabit ethernet connection into the router, and I get 25Mbps. No wireless whatsoever.
That's what got me thinking there is something that is rate limiting applying to this specific device in Orbi. When I bypass the Orbi router and plug straight into the modem, full speed. Same when I have the modem (Netgear CM1000 cable modem, by the way) plugged into a Netgear Nighthawk router, full speed if I route through that too.
It literally only slows down when this laptop routes through the Orbi, doesn't matter if it's wireless or wired, 25Mbps tops either way. All other devices, full speed.
Internet service is 100x10 (small cable network called Rainier Connect).
Something is wrong with the RBR seems like.
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch. Power OFF the ISP Modem for 30 seconds, then back on. Walk thru the setup wizard. This time give a different SSID name to prevent any wifi devices from connecting. Don't enable Armor or Circle after the wizard completes. Run a speed test from your wired PC using Ooklas installable speed test app. Check results.
