Hardwired download speed slow through Orbi, fast to computer
Hi all,
I have a new Orbi AC3000 (RBR50) and i'm finding that the wired download speeds are slow. I have gigabit FIOS.
Hardwire FIOS ONT directly to 2018 Mac mini using two cat5E cables coupled...
To clarify, the FIOS ONT is not a wifi router. It's simple a "modem". Fiber goes in/out, RJ45 ethernet goes in/out. No wifi or router.
None of the testing I described above is using wifi.
Try a factory reset on the RBR, setup from scratch with a wired PC. Do not enable QoS, Traffic Meter, Access Controls or IPv6 on the RBR. Set a different SSID name temporarily to prevent any wireless from connecting. Just the wired PC and the RBR. Do speeds improve any at this point?
