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...
Hi,
Just set up my Orbi system hoping to get better wifi coverage, had been using a Linksys WRT3200ACM and two wired access points. So far much slower speeds on both wired and wireless, I did update to the most recent firmware. Even speed test through Orbi setup only show about 80 down, I have a 300 MBs connection and with the old router would see downloads >300 and could even get that on 5G with wifi in certain areas of the house.
I got this through Costco and will try it for a week or so but may end up returing it if I can't get back to simialr speeds.
I have been readin through the posts but so far nothing I have tried has worked.
After a bit more trouble shooting I found that there is now a status setting for the Lan connections and noticed that the WAN connection was only at 100. Swapped out a cable and it jumped to 1000 and now my speeds are back to what they should be on both wired and wireless.
