RBE770 slow LAN connection and not great Wifi

Hey all. I am getting 800+ up and down out to Verizon per my speed test in orbi app. My LAN is 1000M/Full and My Computer Adapter is 1 GIG but I can't get more than 200meg on my fairly new Laptop with 3' of cable connected to back of Router (I changed cables too - Cat6a). I have Verizon Fios and I am not using their router. My RBE770 connects right to the ONT.  My laptop wireless only gets 200-300. My cell phone wireless is about 300-400. I disabled Armor. My firmware is up to date. I did a factory reset. IPv6 is disabled. 

 

Any advice?

  • 1. what ONT from verizon is it? (model number)

    2. you first said wired, then later said over wireless? Even though the 770 series is wifi 7, most devices aren't. so usually the device is the bottleneck when it comes to speedtesting

    3. What app/service/setup are you using for the speedtesting? 

    4. Have you tested directly connected by PC to the ONT? 

  • Any progress on this?
