What is the highest speed that the Orbi's can handle?
Good Day All!
I have the Orbi Mesh Router. The Orbi AC2200 and I have the main router in the living room and a Satelite down in the basement. I have Verizon Fios package that's supposed to give...
Which RBR or RBK do you have? 40 or 50?
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem/ONT the Orbi is connected too?
What is the speed test results with a wired PC and a browser connected to speedtest.net? Wired speedtesting is preferred as wireless can't perform the same as wired.
Did you set up the router and enable QoS speed test, traffic meter or access controls? If yes to any of these, you may need to do a factory erase on the router and set up from scratch, this time, do not enable the QoS speed test, traffic meter or access controls. User mentioned that these will slow the speed down on a 1Gb ISP service...

I have the RBR40, the one with a base router connected to the FIOS router and a plug in satellite. I have the main router connected to the FIOS router as this was the only way the verizon tech told me I could use another router besides theirs but their router sucks. On a 100/100 plan I can only get about 40-50mbps on wifi and with the Orbi Mesh Router, I get anywhere from 80+ wifi. I never use ethernet eventhough I know it's supposed to be faster and that's the best way of getting the best speeds but the problem is that I don't have a ethernet cable log enough to reach my basement where most of my work is done. The Tech put the router there as it is the centerpoint of the house. I know there is a way to turn off the Verizon FIOS wifi but I don't remember how to do it and I'm sure it's conflicting with my Orbi router and like I said, anyone who can help me replace the FIOS router with my Orbi router then I will pay you $50 via paypal for your time. You also have to help me maximize the setting on my Orbi to get me the best connection. If you can do that then I have no problem paying you for your time. With that said, the more devices I have connected to the router will decrease the speed too right? I'm contemplating whether or not to connect everyone's devices to the Orbi router bc I don't want to bog it down even more. Right now I have about 7 devices and if I got rid of the Verizon router I would need to add an additional 5 devices. that would be about 12+ devices. 5 of which is using the satellite and 2 using the Orbi base system then my mom and dad's iphone and ipad are using the FIOS router. The FIOS router is really crap and I can't stand it but the tech at Verizon FIOS won't help me remove the router altogether and told me the only way I could get the Orbi to work is if I tethered it to the FIOS router. Is this true? Does anyone know if this is true or not? Also, will the more devices you have bog down the network speed or will it not affect it at all? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!
