RBR50 wired slow speed
I have 50 Mbps download speed and 10Mbps upload speed internet connection. When I connect my desktop directly to the modem, I am getting 50Mbps down and 10Mbps up. When I connect my orbi to modem and...
Thanks. It did not happen before v4 firmware update but also this did not happen as soon as I updated firmware v4.
Modem Mfr: Arris, Model: CM8200A
Size of the home is 3300 Sq Ft. Router is in the 2nd floor and one satalite in 1st floor and one satelite in the basement.
I disabled all the features that you had mentioned and restarted the router and Satelites, it did not improve.
I also followed the config sugestion that was mentioned in the link that you had provided (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Most-Stable-Orbi-Configuration/m-p/1941087/highlight/true#M97026), but it did not improve either.
I am going to factory reset and see it solves the problem.
Ok, I was going to mention powering OFF for 1 minute then back ON to see if this changes anything...Keep us posted.
I did factory reset and set it up, but the problem still exists. May be the RBR50 having hardware issues. Its just 18 months old router. $350 router lasting just for a year and half is terrible.
I gather from other user posts that v4 was not great. I even found a problem with it and switches in the mix.
I would try this newer version of FW:
I have it loaded, however I haven't had a chance to test it out yet.
Or revert back to v16:
Is the most stable FW IMO...
Thanks, I tried with firmware version-2-6-1-40 and it did not help. So I downgraded the firmware to version 2-5-1-16, and it did not help as well. Its totally strange, getting upload speed correctly but only download speed is the issue.
