RBR850 slow wireless and ethernet port speeds
Hardware connection order: CM 2000 > RBR 850 > GS 324 gigabit switch (CAT 6 cables) Network: 1 RBS 850 satellite Neither the wireless download speeds nor ethernet download speeds come close to m...
Appreciate the quick response. Agreed, not expecting download speeds over 900 mbps but I assumed the upgrade would not result in a degrading of download performance.
> CAT6A STP is recommended between the CM and RBR.
I'll replace the cable. How about between the RBR and GS 324 (currently CAT 6)?
> So you have Armor, SPC or Traffic Meter enabled?
Both are disabled.
Between the RBR and GS, CAT6 UTP is Good.
Do you have IPv6 enabled or disabled on the RBR?
RBR850 IPv6 is currently disabled. Given info below is there a setting that you recommend: Auto Detect, 6to4 Tunnel, Pass Through, Fixed, DHCP, PPPoE, Auto Config, or 6rd Tunnel?
Other info I should have included in original post.Internet provider: xfinity Gigabit Extra
RBR850 firmware version: v7.2.6.21_5.0.20
WAN Preference: Internet Port (2.5 Gbps)
LAN setup: Router used as DHCP server
Wireless setup: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
Can try Auto for IPv6 on the RBR and see if this changes anything. Been odd issues and problems with IPv6 between Orbi systems and ISPs. Otherwise, disable it.
Id test speeds with the RBS turned OFF and two PCs connected to the back of the RBR with out the switch in the mix. Make sure your getting good speeds here. You should good speeds ethernet connected behind the RBR. With Armor, Traffic Meter and SPC disabled or right after a factory reset and setup from scratch using a web browser. Don't setup using the Orbi app.
I presume your getting good speeds with one wired PC connected directly to the modem right?

Same disappointing speed ~390-400 Mbps.
