Orbi throttling each ethernet port speed?
I have the CBR40 modem/router combo and RBS20 sattelite. I currently pay for 330mbs connection through RCN. I've realized that i only get 330mbs plus if i connect my laptop to the first and second ethernet port. When i connect to the third or fourth ethernet port, my speeds get throttled down to about 95mbs. I have factory reset the CBR40, the same problem exists. Anyone has a solution to this?

IF 2 of the 4 ports are working and the 3rd and 4th ones are not, this would indicate a HW issue with the CBR40. It would need to be replaced. You'll need to contact NG support about this and ask for an RMA or return the unit to place of purchase and get another.
