So incredibly frustrated at this point having spent 2 days now trying to diagnose a problem with my Orbi System.

 

Facts:

- Entire house is cabled with Cat5e.  All runs tested and capable of 1GB

- TP-Link GB switch in place with latest firmware

- Tested modem in place.  Consistently achieving about 234 MBS down and 10 MBS up using Ookla

- Orbi sytem (1 base plus 1 satellite) in place and fully updated on firmware.  Did full reset and reconfig 24 hours ago

- All computers and devices on latest software and firmware

- Satellite is connected to modem via ethernet cable

 

Observed:

 - Wifi bandwidth to base unit from all ios devices is about 234 MBS down

 - Wifi bandwith to satellite from all ios devices is about 95 MBS down

 - Computer desktops (2) to base unit via ethernet is about 95 mbs

 

I have checked everything throughout the network and all is good.   Why hardwired desktops are limited to 95 mbs is not clear to me at all.  Neither is it clear to me why the hard wired satellite is slow as well.

 

I am now very suspicious of my Orbi system but can find no clues or answers anywere.   Starting to wonder if it is time to move from Netgear's mesh system.

 

Any help/advice appreciated!
