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.

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! 😏😏
All of the tests are done with ethernet connection on my desktop.
I can try and disconnect my satelittes. However, I have 14 devices connected in the network. Will that affect LAN speed, if they all connect to the router instead of the satellites?
Here's a weird thing!!
Tested with my work laptop. It is a Dell. First tested wireless. Xfinity speed test reported 487Mbps download and 8 Mbps upload. Tested 10 times. Similar results.
Connected the ethernet cable to the laptop. Tested speed. 202Mbps download speed. Same result multple times.
Any thoughts?
BTW, I saw this thread here. I have the same Killer ethernet controller. I had it before this issue started. I have disabled the service, still the same results on my desktop

Do the Dell wireless speeds are good and same laptop wired speeds are slow?
If you have same Killer adapter, I would look into any QoS or network traffic management features on these adapters to see if there is someting causing a slow down on the wired side.
Can you test with a PC that doesn't have a Killer adapter installed?
