RBRE960 limits MacBook Pro download speeds to 80mbps max
I have an RBRE960 with two satellites all running the latest V7.2.8.5 firmware connected to my provider's router via a Cat 6 ethernet cable. I have a 1 Gbps connection; the 960 consistently shows...
Thank you for all of your help.
Out of sheer frustration, I just reset everything. Was much less painful than I thought it'd be in my head.
That seems to have fixed all the issues I've been experiencing, across the board.
Lesson learned.
I have two MBPs – one a personal one, one work – that 5 GHz connect to the Orbi at a Tx rate of 1,300 Mbps, but have a max download speed of 80 Mbps.
Each MBP is connected to a different satellite.
Have you tried connecting the MBPs without using any of the MBP ports?
Sometimes poorly shielded HDMI and USB cables can cause this issue.
Yes. Have tried both without any peripherals plugged in. With power, without power. It's not the MBPs. It's 100% the Orbi.
I have a USB-C to ethernet coming on Friday. That'll tell me definitively if it's the Wi-Fi negotiation, or something else.
Stay tuned.
