We have a device sucking up more than half our bandwidth. Solutions? Orbi RBR50 mesh
Hi all, We had been having issues at my house with slow network speeds. The Orbi was saying 443mb/s, but we were seeing fractions of that. After investigation with a hardline and device by device co...
Please post about this over in the Orbi AC forum:

Whats the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the RBR is connected too.
There is Traffic Meter however it only tracks the over all usage of the entire system and bandwidth. Not per device.
Only other item I might suggest would be a firelwall appliance device infront of the RBR and then set the Orbi system to AP mode. Use the firewall appliace to help regulate the bandwidth. Not sure which firewall appicance that would have these features. There are many.
You might ask this user to see if he might have any recommendations:
Well, our Orbi RBR50 is the modem. The cable internet connects directly to our device. I have Fortigate firewalls that I got free from work. I coooooould probably get that configured to limit bandwidth. I may need help from my coworkers to figure that out. I don't see a problem attempting to segregate 50mbs if that's a feasible solution. Would definitely take some work, quite frankly.
Would love alternate solutions. I'll reach out to that user.
