Obri cbk752 - direct ethernet connection to satellite - SLOW - 10 mbps
S1arched But Couldn't Find Answer .
Setup Orbi Cbk752 Yesterday. Works Except One Desktop Computer Is Direct Connected Via Ethernet To An Orbi Satellite And Seriously Is Getting Speeds Of 5 to 10 mbps!!! I Think Dialup Was Faster!! Lol
Settings Seem Ok On The Oebi And The Computer, Tried Different Ethernet Cables... what Else Can I Do??
