AT&T Fiber (Gigabit service) + Arris BGW210 + Orbi - half speed?
I just got an Arris BGW210 to replace my Pace 5268AC RG from AT&T. I have everything connected and belive I have the Orbi correctly set up in IP Passthrough mode. Running some speed tests I get about...
HI guys sorry I haven't responded. After receiving the BGW I just put it in IP passthrough mode and left everything as default. Nothing special for the Orbi. As far as testing if you use the built in speed test program either in the phone app or the web app it doesn't seem to be accurate. Use a standalone speed testing app (e.g. speedtest.net) and you'll see higher speeds. I found that if you get the actual SpeedTest standalone app (it's on the Mac app store, unsure if Windows has one) I saw higher speeds at 800 down 900 up. Good luck everyone.
I'm curious to see if Aiku was successful in getting better speeds. I'm having the same issue with the same set up. I will be calling my ISP to setup in transparent bridge mode. What are the preferred settings on the Orbi router to ensure I get top speeds?
