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...
You will find those features if you go to www.orbilogin.net in your browser and use admin for user name and whatever password you picked. It should be all under Advanced tab. I never use the app for network setup, it is dumbed down and missing a lot of options.

Thanks for that. Well I logged in and access control is disabled, traffic meter is disabled, but could not find how to disable the speedtest option. I hard-wired my surface pro 4 to the orbi router and roughly getting 550-600mbps. Just to test, I did a speedtest on my desktop which is hard-wired to the satellite and I'm roughly getting 600+mpbs.
So just to summarize:
- Surface Pro 4 hardwired to modem - 800+mbps
- Surface Pro 4 hardwired to Orbi Router - roughly 550-600mbps
- Desktop hardwired to Orbi Satellite - roughly 600+mbps
I'm not sure what to think at this point. Any other things I can check?
AFAIK there is nothing to disable regarding the speed test. Just make sure QOS is off also.
