What speed should I expect when connected to the satellite
My Setup: RBR50, RBS50 and 2 x RBS20. RBR50 is connected to a 8-port TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet Switch. And the 3 satellites are connected to the switch with Cat 6E cable. All running firmware V2.5...
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 :)
Maybe it could be the cabling... will check over the weekend and update.
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.
log into the orbi and then go to advanced----->show statistics.
i screen snipped mine and linked on here.
Indeed that was problem.
The cable connecting the Orbi router to the switch was a Cat 5 cable - it was in 100 Mbps.
I changed it to a Cat 5e and it is all fine now.
Initial test is looking good. Will check a bit more and update.
Thanks for the inputs.
