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...
It's all good. My internet is working correctly, I just wanted to know how much speed the Orbi can take or can't take. I downgraded my FIOS service back to the $29.99 plan so I'm back at 100/100mbps and I'm getting about the same wifi speeds as the 100/100 so I'm satisfied for now. I just didn't want to pay double the money and then not get the service which I pay for.
Sounds good, ya, your well with in the range of speed handling abilities of the Orbi.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

MacBookPro (late 2013), speedtest history when connected on Satellite RBS 50, wireless backhaul betwen RBS 50 and RBR 50, RBR 50 acts as AP mode to the main Router given by ISP, I am with 1Gbps Fibre plan.
The prices you pay are insane! Don't complain. In AZ we pay $70pm for 150mbps down/10up from COX! $59.95 for 1GB FIOS is a steal and $29.95 for 100/10 is unreal.
