Could you please humor me with a little more detail. i.e.
- Speeds on a computer wired to the Orbi router were consistently in the 750-940mb/sec range, but
- Recently, speeds on that same computer wired to the router are in the 1K/sec range.
- Speed measured using the Orbi app (wireless) is in the 725-825 range (which as plemans pointed out, almost at the theoretical maximum of 866 for 802.11ac on this Orbi).
If the computer is wired directly to one of the Orbi ethernet ports (not through a switch), can you report what appears on the
- Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net)
- Advanced Tab
- In the box Internet Port
- Click on "Show Statistics" and report what the Orbi shows for the WAN, LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 ports?
Is there a way to independently verify that this computer is capable of high speed ethernet connection (using the same cable). Such as:
- Connect the computer directly to the fiber ONT?
- Connect the computer directly to another computer/laptop and use a throughput app such as iPerf3 to measure speed?
