Orbi RBR50 is not supporting 900Mb+- on the WAN to LAN test
So I'd like to call NG's attention to the following test results for Orbi RBR50. I'm not seeing anything near 900mbps on the WAN to LAN test. Using both iPerf and Duckwares simple WAN to LAN test pro...
So I wanted to try something with my RBR50 and see if it would even see anything near 900Mbps WAN to LAN behind another RBR with actual live 1G ISP services that I just got activated Friday.
1Gb/50Mbps: CM1100>RBR850 router mode><DMZ for RBR50 router mode>Wired PC
And i'm seeing just over 700Mbps with Ooklas speed test app in Windows 10x64 on the RBR50 in router mode WAN to LAN:
Something I haven't seen with just the RBR50 between two Gb LAN PCs and a switch testing internal iPerf speed testing.
Makes me wonder if HW NAT accelleration or Cut-Through detection is not detecting correctly or operating correctly.
I've got to find time to put the RBR50 online behind the CM1100 directly and see what happens.
Ok, so I connected my RBR50 to WAN port #2 on my CM1100 cable modem. RBR50 is on WAN port #1. 1Gb/50Mbps
RBR50 is seeing near 900Mbps with my wired PC speed testing thru the RBR50 using Ooklas installable speed test app in windows 10: Orbi FW v40
Makes me wonder if type of modem or something in the RBRs detection of modems on the WAN side and such could be playing a roll in this. If I take the RBR50 and test it alone with just two PCs and a Gb switch, the RBR50 won't see anything much over 400Mbps. Seems like the RBR50's detection on the WAN side maybe a factor here.
So for this test, the RBR50 connected to a CM1100 cable modem is seeing near 900Mbps.
