Orbi 970 Not Passing Through 10GB Speed
Hi there, I am writing in regards to my new Orbi 970 system. I'm setup with GFiber 8GB package and can confirm that the Orbi is receiving nearly full-bandwidth at about 7800 up + down, which is f...
How are you speed testing? RBR internal speed test app?
I would use Ooklas installable speed test app on a PC or your Mac to test with.
What model is this Belkin USB C adapter?
Do you get near 8Gb with the Mac directly connected to the ISP ONT?
Is Armor, IPv6, SPC or Traffic Meter enabled?
I was speed testing the GFiber to the modem through the Orbi app, which is where I was seeing the full bandwidth (or as close as possible). Speed testing the Mac through Speedtest.net via Google Chrome, good tip about the installable app, I will check that out.
The model of the Belkin is Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T, but even as I'm writing this I'm seeing that may be the issue - that probably only maxes out at 1GB.
Will double check the Armor, IPv6, SPC or Traffic Meter settings, can't confirm just yet but likely no since I disabled Armor, not sure about IPv6, SPC, or Traffic Meter.
Thank you for the reply.
