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.
Any progress on this?
CAT6 is recommended LAN cable type.

I have an Orbi RBR850 and RBS850 setup. The RBS850 is wired to the RBR850 via in-home ethernet wiring using the Orbi Wired Backhaul setup. I have ATT Gigabit service, and I do see the ~900 / 900 from the router speed test admin page and via directly wiring to the RBR850 with a computer.
After a period of time (usually about an hour), the RBS850 limits WiFi speed to about ~100Mbps (97-98 download and upload). Rebooting the RBS850 will return WiFi to around ~300-400 Mbps for a short period of time, and then it will go back to this limited ~100Mbps speed. I've searched the forums/reddit for similar issues, and I applied some minor "Advanced Wireless Settings" tweaks based on others issues (screenshot attached to this post). This didn't actually help though. Speeds returned to ~100Mbps after the satellite had been online for a bit.
Of course, I am out of warranty therefore I'm hoping there's an actual solution here other than the satellite is toast, and I'm stuck with a lackluster satellite.
