New Orbi customer and gigabit
I recently (Tuesday, it's now Thursday) purchased an Orbi RBK50 to replace my Asus RT-ac87R/U router to provide better coverage in my townhome and becasue the asus router seemed to be struggling with...
sorry, I guess I should have been clearer.
I do the majority of my testing through speedtest.net in chrome on a gigabit wired windows box to achieve the higher 800+ mbit results
when I use the web gui from orbilogin.com to do the QoS speedtest that results in about 400mbit (although since downgrading it tries and errors out eventually saying it's unable to determine speed).
when I upgraded the orbi to the 2.1.3.4 (or whatever it is) the speedtest.net results avg'd in the 740s.
another question, whats the actual current public firmware? I went to the main downloads page and it lists a bunch of different ones, all out of order and the autoupgrade says i'm on the current, but there's 2.1.3.4 (beta if I'm understanding the forums correctly), 2.1.2.18, 2.0.1.4 (current;y installed), and 2.1.1.16. There's other versions listed, but these looked to be the highest in their respective series.
i believe 2.1.2.18 would be current and v2.1.3.4 is beta unless NG made it official, I don't think so. NG pulled .18 from auto update as it was giving users problems.
