Orbi satellite ethernet port speed
Just picked up an Orbi last night and have a question on the speed of the satellite ethernet ports. I have the satellite in my family room entertainment center and am shocked at how fast the wifi is...
You should get more than 500 Mbps througput using that switch over the Orbi backhaul. You need Gigabit Ethernet gear to see that level of speed though.
It definitley sounds like you have a 100Mbps wired link somewhere in there.
Is your switch actually a Gigabit switch?
If so, is everything connected with Cat5e or better cables?
Are the ports on the swtich set to 100 Mbps for some reason?
Are the devices you are using to test speed capable of Gigabit operation?
