RBR750 and Fiber - Won't get full connection
Hi All, As a last straw - I really don't want to pay hundreds for a new Mesh system - I was reaching out here - apparently Netgear now charges for a year at a time of support (guess that started ...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
QoS is all automatic on the Orbi systems. Nothing to adjust here.
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, IPv6, Traffic Meter.
If you have a different router that handles the ONT connection, try putting the Orbi RBR in to AP mode and see if speeds are still the same. Static IP Address Configuration for AP Mode | NETGEAR Communities
Or maybe try a non managed 1Gb or Multi Gig LAN switch in between the ONT and RBR with nothing else connected to the switch to see if this changes the behavior.
There maybe some interopererability issue between the ONT and the RBR. Seen others post about ONTs and odd behaviors with Orbi systems. I know my 750 series handles 1Gb on the down however my ISP only supports 50Mpbs on the UP so never seen anything past that here.
