RBR50 slow ethernet
For some reason my RBR50 is running at 100 mb on the ethernet ports. Using cat5e. My config is FIOS Router -> RBR50 -> gigabit switch. Switch has one light illuminated which means 100 mb, anything co...
"anything connected to the switch can't get over 100 mb/s download. Connecting to the RBR50 over wifi gets 300 mb." If this is the case then the switch would be your cause of problems. Remove this switch and get another. Something non manged and something with out any Green Ethernet features as these can cause problems when connected to Orbi systems.
Ok thank you! Any other tips? I have Frontier FIOS and had the router in bridge mode but Frontier doesn't support me if I call so I switched it out of bridge mode and just disabled wifi. Pretty sure this setup will cause NAT issues though.
Try this: Disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
