RBR850/RBS850 WiFi slow on a 1GIG fiber (getting 90Mbs up/down)
I have att 1 gig fiber ( 1 RBR router ) - (4 satellites) 6500 SQ ft house satellites are 25-30 ft apart on second floor < Router ( which acts as bridge) also on second floor ( hard wired to ATT) ...
I don’t think resetting the Orbi is an issue, the only changes I made were on the att box .. rbr was already in AP mode
Does the 850 router have an Advanced Tab home page similar to the older Orbi routers:
If so, what does this option indicate for the router WAN port?
(The reason I ask is that 90mb is a 'suspicious' number, being just short of 100mb.)
If the Orbi believes that it is connected to the ISP device at 100/Full, then the maximum speed will be just under 100mb.
This is probably not the case, but requires less effort to check than a Factory Reset.
Also be sure your using good quality LAN cable between the ISP modem/ONT, RBR and all wired devices.
It does - the router wan port is 100M/Full

When the Orbi "knows" that the port maxes out at 100mb/Full Duplex, then it will not receive faster than 100mb.
How this happened when nothing has changed is one of those mysteries of life. I would try a different ethernet cable and also take a really good look at the tiny gold wires inside the ethernet jack of the ISP device and the Orbi.
Orbi has 4 ports ( i tried each one) the cable is fine as when I connect to ISP modem it shows 850-/900 upload /download
is there a way to configure the WAN port? Or is it automatic?
