971 with 10GB Gateway slow LAN Ports
971 / 2 970s and Xfinity X10 gateway. My new Xfinity plan and XB10 Gateway gives me 2Gb/2Gb up/down, but... I cannot take advantage of the 10GB ports on the XB10 or all the ORBI Wired ports (...
If I put a 2.5Gb switch between the Orbi and Gateway, that helps somewhat with wired devices topping out around 600-700gb. Don't know why that helps, but I don't view that as a long-term solution - it's just weird.
What grade cabling are you using to connect the Orbi and the Gateway?
Have you tried a different cable? (ideally cat 6a. If there's a lot of nearby cables, then maybe get a shielded cable).
If you connect a PC directly to the gateway (wired), what download speed are you getting?
What are you seeing when you run a speedtest from the Orbi web ui?
When you run a speedtest from a wired client, are you seeing packet loss?
