Orbi RBR20 - no upload speed
Hello ! So my problem is about upload speed (download speed is as expected). I should have about ~20 mbps according to my ISP, but I only have something arround 0.01 (yes really !). I have a ...
I found the solution.
On my internet setup page, I configured PPPOE with my login/passw coming from my ISP. I just change "Does your Internet connection require a login?" To "No" and now my upload speed is as expected !
Well, since the orbi is in router mode (and not AP mode) it gets a public IP on it's WAN port , it doesn't get any private ip from modem's DHCP.
You sure the modem is in router mode? When in router mode it should get a private IP address from the modems LAN side. Unless you have IP pass thru set if thats a feature on this modem.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
My ISP box is actually a router and a modem. As far as I know, there is no way to desactivate router mode. The only relevant thing I can do is activate/desactive PPPOE:
- activated, means the box will get a public IP
- desactived means it won't get public IP and rely on something else (here my orbi) to ask for the public ip. But it will still have a private IP, can still provide WIFI, DHCP, etc.
So for now, my ISP box gets a public IP and has a private IP (192.168.1.1), same for my orbi, it receives a public IP on WAN port and it has a private IP (10.0.0.1).
My ISP provider is proximus, the box is BBOX 3V+, the hardware is SAGEMCOM CS 50001 (there are user, admin and expert users, by I only have access to user level)
I presume the handling of the pass thru to the RBR while both are in router mode is the problem. I recommend for best use, use the the Orbi in AP mode to avoid this issue.
- Well, I don't know if it can be that, it worked for 2+ years without issue
