ORBI used as Gateway Slower than 1GB Connection
Hello,
I'm having trouble getting the RBK50 to run at 1GBS via ethernet when setup using PPOE and VLAN201. When I test the speeds with ethernet to the centurylink ZyXEL C3000Z, I have no issues. Wh...
- I've never used QOS and already factory reset it (again)
- Yes, I'm using ethernet to the PC

"ISP modem as your router and then use the Orbi in AP mode."
I'm currently doing this, but it seems to block my web services on the ISP modem. They work fine on the orbi by itself.
If the Orbi is in AP mode, then it's only working as a pass thru for traffic. There is no routing.

Are you testing the speedtest app with in the Orbi UI or using a Wired PC connected to the Orbi and using speedtest.net windows or mac app?
