RBR50 slow wired speeds
I check the speed test on the Orbi app, and I'm getting 600-750Mbps (paying for 912Mbps from Spectrum). I have a wired connection, Cat 8, from my ethernet port on the Orbi router to my laptop docking station. Run a speed test, and I'm getting no better than 225Mbps. What am I missing? Did a factoy reset on the Orbi, no changes.

Can you connect your laptop directly to the RBR and by pass the dock station?
Do you have a different wired PC to test with and compare results?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?Use Ooklas installable speed test app for Windows...
firmware is V2.5.2.4 on the Orbi

do not use the app
try another web base spped test site
speedtest.net still giving my 250Mbps approx. Wired it directly to my laptop (no dock), no improvement. ISP is Spectrum, and modem model #is E31T2V1 (Charter).
can you try it without the docking station?

I’m having a similar problem. Did you ever get this resolved?For me, I think it came down to my hardware. Laptop was a bit older, so ethernet port was not able to support the higher bandwidth. That said, I've moved on from this router and have a new laptop.
