Speedtest via router x speedtest via app
Hello. I’m using an Orbi RBR-50 + RBS-50 + 2 RBS-40. The satellites are all connected via gigabit ethernet on the RBR-50. Orbi is working as router mode and all of them updated to the latest firmwa...
It’a a Sagemcom F@st 5655 v2. I live in Brazil and my internet provider is Tim Live fiber with 300mb download and 180 upload.
All Orbi’s uses the latest firmware. RBR 50 and RBS 50 uses 2.3.1.60. The two RBS 40 satellites uses 2.3.1.58.
A strange thing I noticed today bur haven’t gone too deep yet is that a speedtest using Ookla app when my iPhone is connected in Orbi’s router shows the same low up/down speed that Orbi’s in app speedtest.
When I’m connected over any of the satellites, i have full speed (300dw/180up) on ookla’s app.
It seems the problem is restricted to the RBR-50 unit.

Do you happen to have WAN Port mirror to LAN port1 enabled in the Router’s debug page?
- No, should I do that?
All options on debug page are empty- No, I was just suspecting this as possible cause affecting your Router.
Since measuring speed from devices connected to Satellite is giving good results, it must be a glitch in the Router causing the issue.
I would reboot the Router and see if you get any improvement, otherwise I would go fo factory resetting the Router.- I’ve rebooted several times, nothing changed.
Will try a factory reset
