Xfinity gigabit plan but Orbi maxes out around low 500Mbps
Just ditched the new Xfinity modem (the black technicolor one that looks like some kind of award/trophy) for an Arris SB8200. Before the Arris, my Orbi was consistently getting 400-450Mbps on the Orb...
FURRYe38 Saw several of your posts recommending users to hardwire straight into the Orbi and do a speedtest through the app and not the site. I did get a couple test results in the 600-700Mbps range. But most landed in the 400-500Mbps range. So the speed is there, almost, but something is getting in the way. I know it's cable which can degrade when other people around you are using it. Which could be part of it. I had a tech who came out to test my equipment tell me we are on a shared line with 20 other people. So... there is that.
While on the Orbi's wifi I have tried several speed tests on the http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest which have came back in the 500+Mbps range. Has anyone ever tried the dslreports speed test?
Ya seems like something in the RBRs FW and or HW is not fully getting or allowing near 900Mbps...
Ya, used dslreports.com before as well. The test I run is more local and has no internet processing interferences.
