RBR50 Has Slow Wired speeds [SOLVED}

I did a bunch of searches for this issue. Most of the responses were pretty convoluted so I wanted to elevate a solution that worked instantly for me. Changing this setting gave me the same speed through the Orbi as I got directly connected to the fiber optics.

 

The Issue:

Wired connections to the Orbi were seeing speeds half as fast as they should be. This was in both up and down transfers.

 

The Solution:

To fix this problem, you need to turn off Daisy-Chain Topology. To turn off this “feature,” login to the router and navigate to: Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless. Then uncheck the Enable Daisy-Chain Topology option. This will cause the Orbi to reboot. I can’t explain why a wireless setting messes with the wired speeds, but it does.


After reboot, my wired speeds went from 225 Mbps to 570 Mbps.

 

I hope this works for you too. Enjoy! :smileylol:

    Daisy Chain can be disabled if there is only 1 RBS connected to the RBR or if there is a RBR alone and no RBS being used. 

     

    Thanks for sharing. :smileywink:

     

    Enjoy.
