did you ever mention what type of modem you're using?
- srdavis872Feb 18, 2021ApprenticeNo but it has happened on two different modems from two different ISPs,
and didn't make a difference. First ISP was giving me 150 Mbps over coax, now getting 940 Mbps over fiber.
The satellites give me 400-500Mbps down and 200+ Mbps up over wifi, but if connected to the main router, can only get 40 Mbps down and up.- vajimFeb 18, 2021Master
so what type of modem are you running now?
- srdavis872Feb 18, 2021ApprenticeI think it's irrelevant. Wifi from satellites gives me expected speeds, measuring speed through Orbi app gives me expected speeds, it's specifically wifi from the RRB50 that caps at 40 Mbps. Regardless of modem, ISP and their speeds, etc. Everything else is fine.
