Orbi Kills internet speed RBR20
My setup is a dsl router modem from frontier. When I test my speed using just that router via a lan cable I get 30mb down and about 4mp up with latency around 30MS. Once I plug in my Orbi to one of t...
I did the power cycle and also tried AP mode .... neither worked.
Can you provide some more detials behind how to do this:
configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi
I found a setting named "Cascade Router"
It has these settings:
Cascaded Router
I did a different test this morning. I unplugged the orbie from the frontier router and plugged in my old netgear nighthawk. With the night hawk I have NO bandwidth loss at the frontier router nd get consistent downloads of 30mb down and 4mb up. There has is something that has changed with the orbie with the firmware upgrade
I did a side by side comparison of the orbi settings and the nighthawk settings. Everything was setup the same way except for UPnP! There was one entry in the portmap table on the orbi!!! I have no idea how that got in there. I deleted it and so far speeds are much better.
Turning the radios off on the frontier router and setting the orbie to AP mode made no difference.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Yes... I did a factory reset on both the orbie and frontier modem/router.
I would presume if your seeing bad speeds with the Orbi in router or AP mode, then there would be something between the ORBI router and your ISP modem that needs to be looked at. Something in the configuration of the modem maybe slowing down the speed.
Ask the ISP about putting the modem in bridge mode.
Swap out LAN cables between the modem and Orbi router. CAT6 is recommended.
