RBR750 Throttling WiFi to 100mbps on Gigabit Connection
I hope someone can provide some insight. I currently have an Orbi mesh system set up in my house. One RBR750 router, and 3 RBS750 satellites. The RBR750 is connected to a Nokia XS-2426X-A gigabi...
It might be worth having another discussion with the ISP about "bridge mode" on the Nokia device. Many routers offer this feature and expect to connect to one device (computer, router, etc.), passing the public IP address to that one device, and disabling all "router functions" (including turning off the included WiFi capabilities).
When the Nokia is connected to an 8-port gigabit switch and several devices are connected to that switch, there may be confusion over which device takes over the public IP.
Also, connecting both the Orbi router and other devices to the switch results in two networks (the WAN side of the Orbi is one network and the LAN side is a network hidden behind Network Address Translation).
That is why the recommended practice is to connect the Orbi router directly to the ISP device and everything else to the LAN side of the Orbi router.
p.s. Since the Orbi 750 is an older WiFi6 model, it might be worth investigating with the ISP about using their Easy Mesh Beacons.
