WAN speed of 100mb
My WAN setting is limiting me to 100mb as shown. When I connect directly to my modem via ethernet my PC gets 200MB. I've tried swapping out cables, resetting the Orbi and sattelite, ev...
plugging in another router using the same cable, yields full download speed of 180mb. So it's not my cable, or PC, it's the Orbi that's limiting speed to 100mb.
Running the latest firmware on Orbi, and having it act as router
When your speed is limited to 100 Mb it is almost always a problem with the cable or a problem with the speed negotiation between the Ethernet ports involved. If not, then it would be a bad Ethernet port.
Try plugging your PC into each of the three LAN ports on the Orbi router, and measure the speed on each one.
Also, check your Ethernet properties on the PC to ensure your PC's network interface card is connecting to Orbi at 1000 Mbps. If not, then change the network interface properties from auto-negotiate to manual 1000 Mbps on your PC.
Also, try another PC or laptop if you can.
