RBR750 directly to FIOS ONT 100M link speed
I have gigabit FIOS and have been running the verizon router connected to the ONT (via ethernet) then the FIOS router to the ORBI. They recently have started charging me for renting the fios router s...
Sorry I haven't replied in a week after you were all so attentive. I didn't clarify but it is Verizon Fios and the ONT is outside. They ran a Cat5e cable into the house and it is terminated to rj45. When I plug the cable into the fios router then connect the fios router to the internet port of the ORBI i get close to gig speeds (600-900 Mb). When I take the same cable from the ONT out of the Fios router and directly into the internet port of the ORBI I get a 10th of that around 60-90 Mb. I am going to look into see what the link speed is on the Fios side but inherently if it is getting the gig speed it would theoretically have to be 1000M link. (even though it is only on cat5e). I am thinking it is along the lines of what you all have said (something is interfering from the ont to the house.
After connecting the ONT to the RBR, did you power OFF both ONT and RBR for 1 minute then back on then check the connection status on the RBR?
You know what I did the Orbi but not the ONT (I unplugged it but now that I think about it it has a battery backup.) I will try that next. Thank you. By the way your response time is incredibly fast. Thank you for your dedication/help to the community. Along with the other members.
Just curious, do you happen to have a 1Gb non managed LAN switch handy by chance?
