Rbk50 speed
I just bought the RBK50 and I have Verizon Fios 1Gb connection when using the speed test on the app my DL never breaks 400 however my upload goes to 800. Is there is max on the dl for the Orbi ...
here is a screen shot from the app too
here is my final setup... I am highly dissappointed in the Orbi as a router!
My performance was so inconsistant, every test would swing dramaticlly. At one point, my sons Xbox was showing 14Mbs upload on our 1Gbs connection.
I put my Fios router back into place and swtiched the Orbi to WAP mode because it does provide good wifi converage. Since then my speeds are solid and every speed test comes back the same.
From the Fios test I see about 950Gbps bi directional and from the Orbi test I see 750 and 850 consistently. Still some drop but good enought.
Because of WAP mode you loose circle and other features not to say that I have to have 2 devices connected vs just the Orbi.
I had a number of Moca devices already in my home and I am not sure the Orbi was worth the purchase.
