RBR50 slow speeds
Hopefully someone will have some insight on this issue I'm experiencing.
When I'm plugged directly into my AT&T modem, I'm getting about 950mbps down and 1050mbps up. Using the same cables, co...
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm running 2.2.1.210
Internet connection provided by AT&T's Pace 5268AC. It was not totally clear on how to bridge the modem, but I do have the Orbi DMZ'd and have always had the WiFi disabled on the AT&T modem. In other testing, I have tried to put the Orbi in access point mode and let the AT&T device handle DHCP, but there was no speed improvement with that. Again, this is an issue with wired performance, wireless does seem to follow with similar speed issues, though.
I have noticed that the other wired ports on the AT&T modem do run considerably slower when the Orbi is wired in as well. My next step will probably be to run a factory reset on the Orbi to see if there is any difference.
See what the reset does.
I've seen others post about this particular modem and the Orbi. Seesm to not like each other. AP mode should work well if you let the modem be the router.
Ensure LAN cabling is good. CAT6 is recommended.
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.
