Loose speed on LAN Connection
I have an Arris CM8200 Modem and loose speed on the ethernet connections. Straight off the modem is 477 Mbps but off the Orbi it is 111 Mbps. The wifi off the Orbi is 510 Mpbs. Help to get the ethe...
Thanks for the response. I have no problem with the WiFi connections. I am 6 feet from the the Orbi with my ethernet connection and no wifi products are being used during the test using ethernet cable. It is the hard wire ethernet that has the slow speed. I have tried a different ehternet cable and get the same results. Ethernet out of the Orbi is significantly slower than the WiFi. Again... not concerned withe the WiFi speeds. Size of house has nothing to do with this problem.

Is your network cable CAT5e or CAT6? Is whatever wired device you have connected to measure the speed capable of 1Gb/s speed? Note older devices may only have 10/100Mb/s speed. Login to the routers web interface and click Advanced tab and then click "Show Statistics" and make sure the LAN connection shows 1000M/Full in the Status column.
WAN 1000M/Full
LAN 1 1000M/ull
LAN 2 Link Down
LAN 3 100MFull
So is LAN 3 port the one that is only giving you 100Mb/s? If so, then make sure your device and cable are both gigabit capable.
My Desktop is capable Gigabyte Z390 Designare and a Cat6 cable from the computer to the Orbi.
