RBK50 ethernet port only 100mps
So I have the RBK50 router connected to sprectrum modem (not wifi modem). i have spectrum 400mps speed. wirless out of Orbi gets 400-450mps all day long. problem is my ethernet ports only allowing 10...
Ok...didn't understand 😬
lomg story short....all pots allows up to 1gb. Problem is apparently all TVs typically have 10/100 Ethernet , and turns out my laptop also has same. When I connected my Orbi satellite via Ethernet...it was pulling the 400+MBs speeds.
v2.5.1.8 updated last week is installed. i have T470 Lenovo that has 10/100/1GB ethernet port. hooked directly to orbi router port and all i get is around 100mbs. makes no sense.
What connection rate shows up on the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab Home Page, click on "Show Statistics"?
How is the speed being measured?

Thanks for the screen shot. Looks like LAN1 should support higher speed, while LAN3 will not.
This is another time when I wish Netgear had numbered the ports 1, 2, 3 so we would know which one we are using without having to pull the cable out and see which one disappears.
If the computer is attached to the 1000mb port, then it certainly should get more than 100mb.
Speed is being measured with something like speedtest.net or fast.com?
