Orbi AC3000 + Comcast 400Mbps -- Router reports 487Mbps Cannot get more than 220 Mbps via LAN
Hello,
I have been using the Orbi mesh network and Comcast with awesome results.
I was in the 150Mbps Blast! plan and regulalry clocked > 200Mbps download speeds on my desktop connected v...
First - Happy News - I am clocking > 400 Mbps on my desktop with every speed test.
After several factory resets doing nothing, I unchecked the "Enable Daisy Chain Topology". The router did a restart and BOOM my LAN speed went up and the wireless speeds have not suffered.
Not sure what the technical reasons are, but I am happy now.

Possible something on that PC is causing problems.
Hope you find the problem.

Yes. Same laptop. Slow on LAN and fast on wifi.
Now my iPhone, Samsung phone, laptops, report > 300 mbps via wireless, using the Ookla speed test app.
I killed and completely uninstalled the killer app. New sure that there was no other qos from my Dell desktop. Still LAN speed limited to 300 or below.
I guess I'll keep investigating. Not going to the gigabit plan anytime soon! 😏😏
What devices are you testing speed test with? PC?
What apps are you using to test speeds?
Hi Furry,
I am testing the speed with my ethernet connected desktop PC. Dell XPS 8930.
Modem - Arris SB8200
Speed test results:On the router page Orbilogin.net, Google Chrome
480.29Mbps 24.16Mbps Xfinity speed test http://speedtest.xfinity.com/, Google Chrome
205 Mbps/22Mbps
Speedtest.net
123.73Mbps/22.1MbpsCan you test with a different PC by chance? Seems like we are getting to spec speeds between the modem and router. Need to confirm by ioslating PC with a different PC if possible. Possible bad RBR unit here.
Swapped LAN cables?
What is the mfr and model of the network adapter in the Dell PC?
You sure any background running apps and security software is disabled temporarily on the PC before testing?
Wifi speeds are good with wifi devices?

==> I have not tried that. I will try to connect my laptop later today
Swapped LAN cables?
==> Yes. Comcast tech did that

==> KIller E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

===> Yes

==> The comcast tech and I actually registered 430Mbps on our cellphones and now it has dropped to 120Mbps. No complaints from the rest of the family ontheir laptops etc.
BTW, before I switched to the 400Mbps plan, Iwas at the Extreme 250Mbps plan and registered > 300Mbps every single time on the speed tests.Nothing has changed hardware or software or the number of devices.
