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.
Hello DivBy0,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are having issues with your download speeds on your PC. This can be due to the ethernet cable or your NIC. First, ensure that your NIC is up to date and can handle 1Gbps download speeds. Then check to ensure that your ethernet cable has not been compromised.
Best,
