home Orbi configuration issue with VPN for work
Problem Statement: I am running an Orbi RBR50 and satellite mesh network for home wifi. It works absolutely perfectly for a range of devices with perfectly adequate speeds - I am really happy with ...
Perhaps it would be useful to explore a couple of things.
Most ISPs provide asymettrical speeds. Speedtest shows mine, for example as 200+ download/12 upload. I cannot upload at 20mb. The obvious reasons are (a) that most customers "download" FAR more than they upload, and (b) that ISP's would rather customers that are "hosting" pay higher prices.
What does Speedtest show for your service? (Run over ethernet connection and then over WiFi connection).
Since the VPN performs correctly when connected with ethernet, it might be worth looking at the laptop WiFi. When connected to Orbi over WiFi, what "link rate" is achieved? (The Orbi "app" shows link rate for each device. This is the one thing that the app does better than the web interface.)
Do not see that static IP vs. DHCP can make any difference.
Do not understand "enable VPN service = yes".
This is a test.
