    Glad to hear it was a simple fix! 

    If you mark it solved it can potentially help the next person as well as others aren't going through the thread trying to fix the problem again :)

    check your switch too. Maybe its not negotiating a 1gig connection and is only connecting at 10/100mbps. 

    What speed do you get directly off the satellites ethernet port? That takes the wireless out of the equation

      Will check that. Thanks.

       

      Wonder if there's a way on the Orbi either in the web interface or in the telnet to check what speed has been negotiated on the ethernet interface.
