Slow wired download speed with AT&T Gigabit
I have AT&T Gigabit, and if I connect directly to the modem, I get 900mbps down/up. However, if I connect through Orbi (wired), the upstream remains the same, but the downstream cuts in half.
I...
There is no bridge mode for this modem. I've already enabled the IP Passhrough with fixed DHCP to the Orbi Router.
As I wrote in the original thread, that didn't help one bit.
I tried both AP and Router mode, and with and without the DHCP Servers in either modem or Orbi router.
Neither of them helped at all which is why I am posting the question whether the issue is the Orbi router itself.
Again, if I connect directly to the modem, I get 950mbps. If I connect to the Orbi ethernet port, I get 500mbps... At this point, I am blaming the Orbi here..
But I wanted to double check before I return this unit back to Best buy.
Below is the testing result direclty from modem.
| 10/13/2018 14:38:31 | downstream | 964.505 | 70 | 9.435 |
| 10/13/2018 14:38:25 | upstream | 899.986 | 70 | 6.671 |
And as I wrote, the upstream remains the same, but downstream is only 500mbps WITH hard wired to the Orbi Router.
