I have an Arris SBG8300 modem/router with an Orbi RBR40. I put the Arris is bridge mode and connected Orbi. I did this as I recently upgraded to Gigabit internet. The maximum speed I am getting from the Orbi is approximately 500mgps download. Straight from the modem I am getting a Gig. My question is, is the Orbi not compatible with these speeds? Am I doing anything wrong? All devices are up to date on firmware.
Try a power OFF of the isp modem for 1 minute then back on. Factory reset the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC. COmplete the setup and run a speed test with Ooklas installable windows or max speed test app. Do not enable Armor, Access controls, Circle, QoS speedtest or Traffic meter. Just run a speed test thru the RBR with a wired PC. Let us know your results.
There have been others posting about the 20 and 40 series with 1G ISP services. I don't have these models. I do know my 50 series supports near 900Mbps speeds.
I did a full factory reset and tweaked some other settings and was able to get the gigabit speed I pay for. However now I have a new issue. My third satellite is producing 150mbps. The satellites are all within 30 feet of each other. I understand I won’t get gigabit speed from the satellite but I feel 150 is a little low. Any ideas?
