Fast speed on two computers (480Mbps) slow on all others, phoes, etc. (96Mbps). RBR850, RBS850
I just purchased an RBR850/RBS850 setup. Everything seems to work, but only two wired computers get fas 480Mbps speed, whil EVERYTHING else, computers, phones, tablets, etc. get slightly less than 10...
SOLVED! Apparently the slower speed was caused by a poor cable connection in one of our 110 punch down blocks. I am on oxygen, recuperating from Covid (low energy to solve problems or do much physically). I showed my wife how to use a punch down tool and she went up in the attic and "reasserted" all the punch down connections on the terminal strip. Before Orbi, I have seldom intermittant connections, but I did have the occasional issue. I think Orbi is more sensitive to cable/connection quality and downgraded a whole section of our network to 100Mbps. Anyway, all fixed now. Thanks for your help.
I recommend you contact NG support and ask for there help. Possble you may have a faulty system.

Glad you finally found the problem.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
