RBR50 - Speed out of router is 10x slower than speed into it
I've got fiber optic internet service. Speedtest with a PC wired to modem is about 900 both ways. When I wire the Orbi router to the modem and wire the PC to the Orbi, my speeds barely break 90. ...
Ive been using and recommending CAT6 for past 10+ years. CAT6 is cheaper now days and inexpesive and very affordable. Wasn't that expensive back then either. CAT6 has better performances and handling for 1Gb home networks. You don't have to have enterprise class networks to use CAT6. There nothing in the rule books about this. For 10Gb is best wtih CAT6A cabling or above. Something I installed to future proof my home a while back. You can have CAT5e at the ONT, however it's not hard to change out to CAT6 or above from the ONT to the router.
We are still waiting on 10Gb speed for the home.
