Centurylink Fiber and RBK50
Hello all, let me start by stating that I have read tons of forums on this and am still stuck. I have CL Fiber with the C4000XG modem from CL, and just recently bought the RBK50 pack. Breakdown ...
Are speed testing with a wired PC or wireless device?
You'll need to ask your ISP about the IPoE protocol if that something that can be used on external routers...
Seems like the modem maybe trottling the Orbi data flow...
Do Furry's #3. I tried all the others and got things to work but the only way I could get full fiber speed was with the orbi in AP mode. I really really wanted to take the CL modem out of the picture all together. I did get it working that way but the orbi couldn't keep up when it was doing both wifi, nat and routing. Speeds were, I forget exactly but I think in the 500mbps range instead of the 925 or so that you should get with gigabit fiber.
Yes wired, as stated in OP. ISP wont provide anything regarding IPOE, they said contact netgear, but did say I had to use IPOE bc it's my ISP protocol, i need to know how to use IPOE via the orbi. I have tried #3, same results. I think the CL device is actually just a router... Another note, today I placed Orbi in AP mode, and wifi is significantly worse than when in router mode and CL router radios disabled. Im at a loss. This is my 3rd mesh system, and it seems to be the best as far as coverage and speed, but thats about it.
Yes, the CL device is just a router. Yes, the router needs to do IPOE or PPOE or something like that - you need to be able to "log in". Interesting, I get fairly good results with the Orbi in AP mode. No, I don't get gigabit speeds wireless but didn't expect to. Wired connected to the RBR50, I get 925 or so symetric

Yea, I dont expext gig speeds via wifi, but I would like to know how to configure my orbi for IPOE.
