Before I got the Orbi, I had the Luma. I've since returned the Luma, but something is bothering me. With the Luma when I ran speed test on fast.com, I would consistently get close to the bandwidth I p...
whats the orbi connected to and have you change out the ethernet led from the orbi to what ever is upstream ?
What speed you getting? I am getting at least 300Mbps no matter where I am at in my home with the Orbi. I have 1Gbps ISP but I only get about 600Mbps wired.
I have a 150Mbps connection through Comcast. If i take a CAT5 from the modem to a laptop directly, i get 140-150 depending on time of day. But once i hook it up to Orbi; i get 70-80 Mbps wired and wireless.
That is odd behaviour. I would make sure your firmware is up-to-date on the Orbi and Satelitte then I would do a Factory Reset.
Factory reset is a very good suggestion. Also make sure you try, at least first, with the router's default settings: Leave WMM enabled under QoS and do not enable other non-default features like Internet Traffic Meter because they may consume extra router resources.
I also have my Orbi connected to my Comcast modem but I still get ~200 Mbps on wireless (measured using fast.com). I have my Xfinity router setup in Bridge mode but I don't think that should make any significant difference for your speeds.
