Not getting more than 100 mbps speed ( Orbi Router RBR 50 )
Hello I have Orbi Router RBR 50. Though I have a 300Mbps speed internet line, my router is allowing me only 100mbps. Is this model capable of 100 Mbps only or is there any setting I need to look into ...
Check your network patch cable between your modem and RBR50 WAN port. It should be CAT5e or CAT6 to handle gigabit speed. CAT5 may only handle 100Mb/s speed.
You can also login to your routers web interface at http://orbilogin.com and click the Advanced Tab and then click the "Show Statistics" button. Verify that this page shows 100M/FULL for the status of your WAN link.
Thanks for the quick response
am using Cat 6 and also checked the advanced tab and it shows 100M / Full
attached the picture
I would try swapping the LAN2 cable that shows it has 1000M/FULL with the WAN cable to see if fixes the issue. You may have a bad network patch cable.
swapped out the cables, ports, new cat 6 cables... done all permutations and combinations
getting LAN and wifi speed @ 100 mbps
when checked out with a cheaper version of the router... with the same cables and new ones getting 280 Mbps, only issue with it is its very old and wifi is pretty bad. spent a Bomb on Orbi and am stuck with 100 Mbps :(
If you search this forum, other users have also seen this issue. Have you performed a factory reset of the router? I suggest backing up your settings and performing a factory reset. If it still has only 100Mb/s speed, then open a ticket with Netgear for an RMA.
