Hardwired download speed slow through Orbi, fast to computer
Hi all,
I have a new Orbi AC3000 (RBR50) and i'm finding that the wired download speeds are slow. I have gigabit FIOS.
Hardwire FIOS ONT directly to 2018 Mac mini using two cat5E cables coupled...
OK, any router built in to the ONT can be a factor as well.
If it does happen to have a built in router, configure the RBR50 for AP mode then speed test. You should see near 900Mbps.
I as others have seen this problem, seems that there is a hardware accelleration with in the FW that is not getting enabled or a problem in this area that seems to cause the RBR50 series to not see 900Mbps on the Wan to Lan speed test.
I would file a support ticket and inform NG of what your seeing:
The ont doesn’t have routing capability, I don’t even think I have the ability to even log in and change any sort of settings for it.
I don’t get why my upload is fine but my download is only 1/2 of the speed. (Gigabit)
