Orbi RBR50 bandwidth control
I have a 1GB fiber connection both ways. When I first set this up I got the speeds I should but it seems after a while devices drop to getting 200/200 each way whether hard wired or on wireless. If I...
Don't use Traffic Meter, Access Controls. These seem to slow down Orbi for some reason when on 1G ISP services.
I do turn off the traffic meter but I do have the access control on even though for some reason it doesn't work on all sites. I put in 3 so far and only 1 is blocked.
Be sure to setup IP address reservations for devices you put in the access control list if you use it.
I have a few devices that have reservation but I have the access control list turned off now to see if that speeds it up. So far it hasn't. Hopefully they will fix this I really like how well it works but if it slows down this much I may have to rethink having this setup. I should be getting 800/800 plus on a wired connection all the time.
I think once access controls are enabled, and then disabled, this won't fix the speed issue. You'll need to factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch again. This time, don't enable Traffic Meter or Access Controls.
