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 ...

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.
