Slow ORBI wired speeds

I have the orbi rbk22, the wireless internetspeeds work flawlessly, but when i try to connect my laptop to the orbi via ethernet, the speed is capped at 100mpbs when i look in network and sharing center. My internet plan is 500mbps download which i get connecting to my modem, but i get capped at 100mbps when i connect to the orbi. WHen i checked in prpoerties in network and sharing center, it also says ipv6: no internet access, while ipv4 works. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • Does your ISP support IPv6? If yes do you have the correct IPv6 in the web GUI under >> ADVANCED >> Advanced Setup >> IPv6 ?

      ShankarHokie  ekhalil  My isp is Rogers and yes it does supports ipv6 as well as my network card because ipv6 work and i get the full 500mbps when i connect to my isp modem. I went on to the web GUI and put IPV6 to auto config but it still says ipv6 no internet connnectivity on my laptop. And how do i disable daisy chain? And another piece of info which could be useful is that i connect the laptop to the main orbi not the satellite.

    What FW is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

    Also try disabling Daisy Chain as well. 

    1. Who is your ISP? Do they support IPV6?
    2. IPV6 should not matter for speeds. I get the full speed on my desktop via ethernet and IPv4
    3. Have you checked if your network card is capable of 1Gbps? Most old cards are only 10/100
    4. I had similar slow LAN speed and I disabled the daisy chain topology and I got full speed
    5. On the router Advanced => Advanced Setup => IPv6, choose internet connection type as DHCP, IPv6 DNS as automatically get from ISP, and LAN stup as autocnfig
    6. Then test at https://test-ipv6.com/ to see if you get 10/10
