Vizio tv display slow speeds on wired and wireless with orbi cbk40
I purchased a cbk40 setup installed the cbr40 modem router and synced the satellite. All of my devices connected smoothly. I have a 100 mg service from cox. The devices include 2 iPhones,iPad,wireless thermostat,harmony hub,Roku box,playstation,older vizio tv,pc,printer. And a vizio p75 tv display. All speeds are fast except the vizio p75 which only obtained 4-6 mb on wired to the satellite or wireless. If I remove the wired connection and connect to a laptop I get 50-60 mb so I know the satellite is putting out ok. I tried changing settings o .The tv but there isn't too much to change. Are there issues with vizio suggestions welcome

I would make sure the TVs FW is up to date.
Contact the TV mfr and ask for help and information regarding this. If other devices are working with the Orbi system and the TV isn't, this would be a TV issue.
Try the TV connected directly to the CBR40, not the satellite.
Try Disabling MIMO. You can disable Beamforming and see if this does anything different. I have this enabled on my system.
FW up to date on the Orbi system?
Are you sure you were getting faster speed with your previous cable modem/router setup?
Does the TV show if the Ethernet link is connected at Gigabit or 10/100?
I would be surprised if it negotiating 10 Mbps link since it is too old.
also, How are you checking speed on TV? using some kind of speedtest in TV browser? or netflix app?
Problem (my fault) solved.The Vizio TV does a speed test and lists the results in MB'S. You need to convert this to mbps. When I did this the speed is OK. Thanks to everyone who jumped in to help.

lol..
I have not seen people specifying speeds in MB/s.
Storage is quoted in MByte GByte..TByte.. and speeds are quoted in Mbits/s or Gbits/s or Kbits/s.... etc
Enjoy...
