Orbi Speedtest Posting Erroneous Results - Getting slow speeds - wired and wireless
This is more to help the community out, not a question per se:
So I I got an RBR50-router and RBS50-satellite running up in my house.
I am using an Arris Surfboard SB8200 and subscribe to...
Did not see that option before, thanks for pointing it out.
Interestingly despite it being QoS for WiFi only, disabling WMM allowed for all devices (wireless and wired) to obtain the maximum bandwidth I subscribe too.
Not sure why that would be the issue, but it worked.
Wonder why your system seems to be working with WMM disabled then. I know mine works with with enabled.
Well if it works then use it as is.
Good Luck.

So like you all said, I was probably wrong.
I just enabled WMM and the speed is holding.
I do not know why after a hard reset and then a firmware reset why it was still showing half the speed until I disabled the WMM and rebooted. Whatever happened during the second reboot mustve switched off/on something, but now it seems to be working irrespective of WMM which like you all said should not have effected anything.
Ok. Ya, WMM should always be enabled.
We've certainly need some odd behaviors with Orbi and seems to be hard to track down where these oddities maybe coming from. Reason why I manually load FW and do resets and setup from scratch. Usually by the time I'm done setting one up, theres at least several reboots done and the system has settled in by then. Hoping new FW will make things even better.
Something you might try. Ask NG about there new beta.

WMM would have negative effect on speedtest from wired devices if there was media data traffic ongoing on wireless devices (wifi calling, Skype calls, video streaming, ....) when you made the test, which will be prioritized over other packers in the router.
