RBR50 gets 900Mbps ethernet to PC, RBS50 gets 400Mbps ethernet to same PC
Hello Orbi Community, Thank you for taking the time to view my post. Just bought the Orbi AC3000 kit from costco to maximize my 1gig internet speed provided by Comcast. I must say my wifi sp...

Question: If I do decide to go with powerline adapter, should I go wall socket -->powerline adpater-->orbi router<-->modem
or
wall socket-->powerline adapter-->modem (I do have 2 ethernet ports on the modem)
It may be trial and error, but any advice would be much appreciated. I am going to see tonight if the proper distance between router and satellite will help my speed. If not powerline baby.
If your Orbi is in Access Point mode, then it won't matter.
If you Orbi is in Router mode, then plug it into your Orbi.
Again, with your rooms so close, a Powerline setup may be able to pull off a gig connection and hence give you the full bandwidth of your ISP.
Make sure you get a set of Powerline adapters than can pull off at least a gig throughput like the 1200 (AV2) or higher. I don't think the cost is that much more for 2000, so I say go for that. There are 2 types of flavors out there: AV2 and G.hn. Which ever one you pick, if you want to add more later, it will need to be the same. AV2 seems to be used more. I have AV2 - a pair are TPLinks, another pair are Netgear. All 4 work together fine.
By the way ... you getting gig internet is soooo not fair :) I am sitting here with 40 Mbps DSL you are "only" getting 400 ;) One day ... maybe my subdivision will grow up ...
theoak I feel bad squablling over this amount of speed. I really am lucky to be pulling this much down (even on wifi, I get close to 500-600). Just trying to get the maximum amount I am paying for.
really wish I could find one product that could solve my issues, but will buy some powerline adapters next if I get to fed up.
I'm just really curious what speeds the community is pulling off their satellite device when hardwired. Am I the only one with this issue?
I am just teasing about the speed. I completely agree with you. Your ISP is delivering you gig, you want gig everywhere in your home. I don't blame you.
I'll check with mine again and see. I have 1G/50Mbps. I mostly only test for wired wired speeds. Wireless has too many variables that can contribute to not seeing full speeds over wireless. You at least seeing near 900Mpbs on wired which is good.
