Orbi RBR10 slow LAN port speed
I can only get about 200 Mbs download from my rbr10. When I connect directly to the RBR10 LAN port, speedtest shows : Download: 179.6 Mbps Upload: 17.8 Mbps When I log into the admin portal ...
have you tried testing with a different device?
Or trying a different test site?
What device are you testing on?
What 5ghz speeds do you get?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Looking at the devices' admin webpage it looks like it might be negotiating 100Mb on the interface instead of 1000Mb.
I'll try different cables and powering off/on the devices in different order.

trying different cables is a great option. I've seen sketchy cat 5e cables not negotiate a gigabit link.

also, make sure to have qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls all disabled.
If they were ever enabled, you might need a factory reset of the router.
the RBR10 was the most base model mesh system and wasn't that powerful.Gigabit speeds takes a pretty good cpu if you're going to be doing any packet inspection and those services put a strain on the cpu and can slow speeds. Sometimes even disabling them doesn't take the load of the cpu and a reset is needed.
- Ah, I do have the traffic meter and security enabled. I'll check. I can disable the traffic meter. Not sure about network protection.
