Orbi Wired Speeds Unacceptably Slow - Wifi Not Impacted - QoS Issues?
Ever since I have received my Orbi, I have been plauged with wired speed connection issues. My wired connection speed continues to be throttled from 10-20Mbps no matter what steps I take. My wireless...

It's odd that you have seen speed issues using a wired connection to the Orbi. I assume you are plugging right into the switch of the router correct? I don't know if you have done the test with just the Orbi router connected and just your computer connected.
I know this is exstream but you may want to do a factory reset (I hate saying that since I don't like that type of soltuion) but there are settings that control how the network switch in the router is configured and will clear out QOS settings. And until they actually allow us to properly configure QOS in their firmware I would suggest leaving the QOS page alone after the reset since there is no option to turn it off and on once a speed test is run.

Hi RonV42, thanks for the reply. I am indeed plugging right into the "switch" part of the base station (I have tried all three ports). I have turned off the satellite as well when conducting these tests, but still encounter the same issues.
I have done six factory resets before, but have not ever NOT visited the QoS page on the router's UI. Once I have time today, I will test this out and report back with my findings. To be honest, I'm not sure that this will do anything, but I am open to anything at this point. Thank you again.
