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...
I have 250 up and down via fiber. Running speed tests on wifi on both phone, tablet, and laptop I will get anywhere from 50 - 125. Far cry from the 250 it "SHOULD" be getting. Not happy especially with all of the connection issues it has. For the money spent on this system, I should be able to plug it in and forget about it for awhile. Yes the occasional reboot is to be expected but spending hours troubleshooting is crazy.
I have AT&T Gigapower Fiber internet and I get about 400Mbps via Ethernet on both of my Orbi Satellites. The Satellite placements are key to getting decent Ethernet performance. I have moved mine all around trying to find the optimal placement for both Satellites. I get anywhere from 100Mbps to 300Mbps via WiFi no matter where I am in my house or my backyard. If I had the Ethernet Backhaul option, I think I can get my speeds to +250Mbps. But I am pretty happy with my setup so far.
