RBR850 / RBS850 | Wired Backhaul | Satellite Limited to 100Mbps
Hoping someone else has had this issue and may be able to steer me in the correct direction. I have an Orbi RBR850 and RBS850 setup. The RBS850 is wired to the RBR850 via in-home ethernet wiring ...
100% agree with plemans. I had this exact same issue and was banging my head almost literally againt the wall to solve this. It turned out to be a small 1.5Ft patch panel cable that must have had a tempermental break or termination. I replaced it (while trying to troubleshoot the in-wall cable) and suddenly the issue was gone permanently. Replaced that patch cable and I haven't had an issue again since.
You said "through in home wiring".
I've seen numerous times where in home wiring had issues either with cheaper cable used or with ends that weren't crimped right/well enough and caused speeds to drop from gigabit to 10/100mbps connections.
Any chance you have a 100ft ethernet cable laying around?
Or even just one log enough to hardwire in the satellite with a known good cable?
That way you can check if its actually a satellite issue or just a cable connect not being the issue.
Or even if you're using a switch in between the router---satellite to remove it for testing.
