Orbi + Gigabit
I have gigabit speed through Xfinity and with my Orbi router hard-wired to the modem, doing speedtests using the orbi app, I'm only roughly getting 400-500mpbs. When I hard-wire a Microsoft Surface 4...
I'm not sure I agree with your post. He is most likely using an Ethernet adapter or maybe even testing wirelessly and that would explain the lower speed. The built in speed test is not accurate, my guess it simply does not last long enough to test 1 Gbit service. I have verified this with my service many times. I can hardwire my i7 laptop with a built in 1 Gbit Ethernet port and I will test 940 Mbit with my SIP, around 880 Mbit on speedtest.net and 940 Mbit on dslreports.com speedtest. The built in speed test will max out at about 450 Mbit or so.
Perhaps. However, there exists on the community posts here some screen captures showing much higher built-in speed test results. It could also be the 'hardware acceleration issue mentioned in the thread I linked. Only testing will tell.
