Hello FURRYe38 ,
I also ordered cat8 cable and replaced the old ones after svetaketu 's response.
Internet service provider = spectrum
Mfr of the modem provided by spectrum = Hitron
Model = EN2251
on ethernet connection , RBR50 <--> Lenovo P510 (1gb full duplex) connected via cat8 cable
the built-in speed test under Orbi > Advanced > setup >speed test
shows
909.56 Mbps download and 29.84 Mbps upload
however, when i do speed test from google, or ookla or fast.com or any other on browser, barely touches 400Mbps.
and yes the power off for a 1 min modem and orbi is already performed few times.
I recommend usnig Ooklas installable speed test app on our laptop. Web browsers can impact speed results.
"however, when i do speed test from google, or ookla or fast.com or any other on browser, barely touches 400Mbps.

Is Access Controls, Armor, Circle or Traffic Meter enabled on the RBR?
