RBR750 Upload speed
Hi,
As titled I am having issues with my upload speed on my Orbi Router.
When I test internet speed from the Orbi router admin page I get
My internet speed to my modem is 1Gig down and 750 Mbps up - I tested directly from my modem to ISP and I can verify I get this speed.
I am using a PPPoE service and I have no router functionality on the modem (WiFI and DHCP are disabled). The Orbi has my ISP login information and is connecting to the internet properly.
How can I debug my upload speed and see what is the bottleneck?
As a follow up I've noticed that since I've installed the Orbi I'm seeing a drop across the board on upload speeds over WiFi as well (about 100 Mbps slower than my previous setup). I'm hoping solving the upload speeds from the Orbi will help but I suspect I will need to debug the WiFi upload as well.
Thank you

Strange - I can't see the image uploaded.
Either way it shows my download as 939 Mbps (good) and my upload as 455 Mbps (not good)
Thanks

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?- lex_wonAspirant
Thanks for the reply!
The RBR750 router is using firmware version v3.2.18.1
I am not sure what MFR stands for but if it helps the modem is a Bell Home Hub 3000 which is a Sagemcom F@st 5566 modem (http://www.dslreports.com/hardware/Sagemcom-F-st-5566-h4553)
Does that help?

What happens if you use the modem as the router with wifi disabled and the Orbi in AP mode?
What wireless and wired devices are you testing with?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.You can find other speed diagnosis steps in the community faq: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/Community-FAQ-My-Orbi-speeds-are-slow-inconsistent-and-don-t-my/m-p/1982974/highlight/true#M7849
