Orbi RBRE960 10GB internet port speed issues!
Hello, I have a 10GB router connected with CAT8 Cable into my Orbi RBRE960 10GB internet port on AP mode. Unfortunately, I can't see more than 5GBPS down and 3GBPS upload speed. ...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the host router the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
Speed testing wired or wireless?
What are the connection rates seen with your test device connected to the RBRs LAN ports?
There's only 1x 2.5Gb LAN port so this will max out here. The other LAN ports are all 1Gb so they will be maxed out here as well.
Thanks for the replay, and Firmware Version V7.2.6.21_5.0.20, I can confirm that on the router directly, I see 8GBPS using my laptop and 10GBPS network card.
Testing is done on the webgui of the Orbi, on the 2.5GB port i can reach the 2.5GB speed.
S,
You should see 2.5Gb speeds max on the 2.5Gb LAN port on the back of the RBR in AP mode...
Thats fine but why i dont see 8GBPS on the speed test ?
Possible Orbi's choice in testing site. I believe the FW auto picks something closest to your location. Possible test location could be busier than others. Possible host router could be interfering with speed test app on RBR. Possible issue in FW as well. Your probably first person to post about this with having this higher ISP speed. Haven't seen a lot of users at this speed. Some of us are still down here at the 1Gb level. đ
