Recent speed upgrade

I recently upgraded to a 2000 GB download plan through Xfinity. Running the Orbi speed test through the app/web interface I show 2306.16 Download and Upload 118.77. I understand this is the speed from the modem to the Orbi. Wifi is around 700-900 depending on the device. My issue is with devices connected to the Orbi ethernet ports do not achieve more than 1000-1100 download speeds. There must be something I am missing for settings to not get the 2000 speed the Orbi is showing.

  • What orbi do you have? 

    What device is connected to it and does it have a multi-gigabit port on it?

      I have the RBR850 Orbi with 2 Satellites. As you said Multi-gig port I realized the Xbox Series S and PS5 do not have that and after searching, they can only handle up to 1 GB. Thank you for making me realize this!

        Glad it was an easy fix 🙂
