RBR750 only 650 instead of 1gig Download speed
Hello
I just bought a Orbi Mesh System
For some reason I only get on the Orbi App only max 650 download speed
upload is fine with 950
Not sure if there is a setting that is wrong or if the router is bad
I had a google wifi mesh and a nighthawk mesh before
Both gave me on their app a download speed of nearly 1gig
Anyone got any idea why the Orbi Router is performing so bad in comparison to the nighthawk and google ?
Thanks

Measured how?
Wifi speeds depend on the wifi client more than the router and your Internet connection.
Hey Michael
I used the Orbi App and before the nighthawk app.
I also used the speedtest app on my phone
But of course on the speedtest app i get even worse download speed.
I got a AT&T Fiber 1gig plan

Yup. As expected.
What's the firmware on the RBR750?
I assume that you haven't done things like enable QoS, a pointless exercise with 1 gig Internet. That eats processor power on the router, as does traffic metering.
