Orbi RBR50 + SIRO Vodafone Ireland - Upload speed slower than ISP Router
Hi guys,
Recently got Gigabit FTTH installed I have the router setup in PPPOE using VLAN 10 as required by my ISP. Here is my problem: The upload speed is much much slower than my ISP pro...
What Firmware is currently loaded?
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
What are the upload speeds if you configure the Orbi in Ap mode as in option #3?
