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...
Happen to know a time frame if when you know it worked? Months? last year?
Well, you could downgrade to v44 as this is a few versions back. Not sure if you can get v2.2.1.210 orv2.1.4.16 back on.
Maybe 3-4 months? Might be longer?
I don't typically run speed tests, and the only reason i noticed was before i upgraded to cat6 i wanted to see what the speed was to get a baseline to see if it even made a difference.
You might try v44 first on the RBR and see. Or try one of the older ones I mentioned.
If you saw 900Mbps on the RBR before, then I presume this is a FW issue that may have been introduced in recent FW versions.
