Wired connection on SRR60, FW V2.7.0.122, Windows PC. I'm only getting 5-600 Mbps download. I replaced an ASUS GT-AC5300 that had stability issues with the Orbi, no other changes to the environment, network, hardware, cables, etc. Even with all other devices connected and using data, I could easily hit 750+ Mbps download through the ASUS on the same speed test immediately before swapping in the Orbi.

I read through a few threads here about speed issues and it always seems to be a discussion about everything but the Orbi device. My setup can handle gigabit speeds, the question is can the Orbi SRR60? Opened a support case and they gave 0 troubleshooting options, kept asking about the WiFi, and in the end are stuck on repeatedly suggesting I RMA the device. I don't want to RMA because I have to ship the existing device back first, and then may or may not receive a new product. I haven't had stability issues thus far so I don't want to go through all that hassle to get a refurb or less stable device.

 

Is there really that big of a variance in the performance of these devices? Is there any actual troubleshooting to try for improving wired speeds? I'm ready to just live with the slower speed because I'm exhausted with trying to find a decent gigabit mesh router that isn't the price of a 2021 GPU.
