orbi ac3000 slow LAN speeds
I bought an Orbi a few months back and it was functioning fine. When i did my first speed test after setting it up i was getting pretty good speeds. I pay for 1 GB x 1GB Fiber from AT&T. As of recent...
your problem is with V2.5.1.8.........get rid of it
so i got rid of 2.5 and that didnt help. I turned off the firewall and everything per the one guide, the orbi was already in ip passthrough mode with manually assignment due to have staticly assigned public IP Address. I have a smart switch that i cannot modify the MAC Address on and then i have a regular 16 port switch that doesnt have any interface... I think im SOL for now, still getting 800/200 mbp/s
FW is not the issue! It's the modem your using. Seems to not give full speeds to external routers connected to it as others have already posted about. You can update to v2.5.1.16 and see if this changes anything. I doubt it though.
Can you find a switch that you can modify? Not sure which model would work best. You might post in that switch post to see what the one user is using for his setup.
