Orbi RBR750 1 Gig up and down at router, but 1 Gig up at PC and only 400-500 Mbps down
I Just switched ISP, and now have 1Gig fiber UP AND DOWN. I verified the speed at the router, using both the Orbi app speed test as well as the Orbi configuration webpage, and it is 1 Gig both ways. ...
Hi FURRYe38, thanks for replying.
Orbi Firmware: V4.6.9.11_2.3.5
Not quite sure what I'm looking at, but there's a Nokia unit P/N starting with 3MV007, which has a blue button labeled "ONT Reset", which is tie wrapped to a device with the Frontier logo identified as XGS-PON ONT, Model FRX523.
I believe my ethernet cable is a CAT5
Ethernet adapter is a Realtek PCI3 GBE Family Controller, latest driver the best I can tell.
I am running the OOKLA app as well as the browser-based speed tests, and they come up with the same result: my upload speeds are double the download speeds, i.e. close to 1 Gig up vs. 400-500 Mpbs down.
I don't have another PC or laptop for testing.

I believe my ethernet cable is a CAT5 <CAT5 doesn't support 1000Mpbs, was only rated for 100Mpbs. I recommend installing CAT6 at least between the ONT and RBR and any wired devices to the RBR.
