Internet Speed RBR 40
My wifi speed at the cable modem is 200mbps. I can only get out of the Orbi 94 Mbps. Is there something I can do to get the speed out of the Orbi? The signal everywhere is pretty good, it is just the...
Update
I did set up the new router that was sent. In talking with Netgear we did 3. things not sure which of the 3 worked but I went from 94mbpl to 200mbps
Here is what we did. Changed chanel on the 5mh to 48, Dumped the app from my IPad, and reinstalled and finally replace the cord between my modem and router. Only problem now is internet drops out from my Macbook, but nothing else. I guess Orbi keeps one thinking.
Not sure how your getting wifi speeds at the modem since it's a modem only with wired LAN cable connector...Did you mean wired?
Has a power OFF of the isp modem and Orbi then back ON with the ISP Modem after 1 minute, let it sync then power ON the Orbi system?
At the cable modem on the provider side it comes in at 200mbps. It is wired from the cable modem to the Orbi sending out the wirless signal at only 94mbps. Even if you hard wired in to a desktop computer the speed is only 94mbps. If you plug indirectly to the modem from the desktop it is 200mbps. Thank you for the help so far.
I would power cycle the ISP modem off for 1 minute along with the router. Power On the modem and let it sync. Power ON the Orbi router and do a factory reset and walk thru the set up wizard and set up from scratch. Only set up wifi. Don't enable QoS speed control, Traffic Meter or Access Controls.
After the router is setup, do speed test with a browser on the wired PC.
