I directly connect ORBI 750 Modem to cable and no other thing comes in the middle
This is not true for all the cases. In my case, I directly connect ORBI 750 Modem to cable and no other thing comes in the middle. Still my network is under a gig. Xfinity is sending me notifications...
What brand and model# modem do you have? Do you have the CBR750?
What speeds are you paying for UP and Down?
Your ISP has separate speed tiers for there services, started a couple of years ago. There is a mid split now. Something to check with them about.
Thanks for attempting to answer my query.
Yes I have CBR750. And my subscription with ISP is for a speed of 1.2GBPS download and 660 MBPS upload. Where I am recording only 910 MBPS as download, ~400MBPS as upload with ORBI.
I just got XFINITY Modem/Router which is giving me the download speed og 1.18 GBBS.
This proves that CBR750, is good for nothing.
Can some of you tell me how can I connect this waste piece in AP mode so that I can atleast use this and its another waste satellite as extender?
I tried using Xfinity Router/Modem in bridge mode and directly connecting the ORBI with LAN. But the great settings of ORBI do not allow me and it is glowing stable purple.
Thanks
Due to the LAN ports in back of the CBR are only 1000Mpbs supporting, this model gateway is limited to around 900Mpbs on the download. You'll not see much past this and the CBR is only certified for the ISP lower speed tier and will not see anything over this. IF you want to see over 1Gb on the down the download, you'll need to find a modem or gateway that supports over 1Gb ISP speeds. Check with the ISP web site on what is supported on the higher speed tier.
You could configured the CBR for a faux AP MODE and use it for wifi signal after that. If not, you'll need to find something else that works for you.
