The 2.5 Gig port of Orbi is limiting network speeds received by the ISP Modem
Basically what is going on is I had Xfinity Gigabit. I have my xfinity modem in bridge mode and plugged into the Orbi lan port and was getting 960MB down. and the devices on my network were getting ...
Re-Read my post, i read your responses but most of what you said to do was already done. Modem is in bridge mode, first couple of sentences.
I was able to get the firmware updated.
As I stated the wifi speeds are stablized now and it seems to just be the wired Apple TV's that are going fast and then dropping off.
Also mentioned that of course I will not see anything faster than 960 because the ports are all gigabit.
Just need to find out now why the apple tv's are starting at 800-900 and then quickly tapering to 180
Thanks
"I have my xfinity modem in bridge mode and plugged into the Orbi lan port and was getting 960MB down." Confirming that you have the modem connected to the WAN port and not the LAN port here.
If other devices are working, then something to contact Apple about regarding there product.
yep also in the original post, i moved it to the 2.5g wan port
"When I upgraded to Gigabit plus I discovered I didn't have the connection to the Orbi in the 2.5 Gig Wan port. which was limiting my speed to still 960mb
As soon as I moved it to the higher speed port on the RBR I was then getting 1400mb on the orbi app speed test."
Im beginning to think its the wired connection between the RBR and the RBS. Ive got a tester Im going to test the backhaul ethernet wiring
How is the RBS connected to the RBR? Any LAN switches or patch panels in between them?
