Orbi speed test not working
Hi, Have just purchased and setup my orbi RB550, every thing is working apart from the speed test and the QOS. When ever I try to run a speedtest it fails to run, Have rebooted all devices have t...
I ran some tests and worked out the MTU size for the modem and then switch it to router mode instead of AP but still unable to do a simple speed test
Then thought it could be some thing to do with my ISP modem so I added the orbi to the DMZ but that failed to fix the problem.
I just want to be able to run the speed test function and check out the QOS feature.
Luckily Netgear Australia have a 30 day trial so if I am not happy with it I can return it.

What is the model of your ISP router please? Does it support bridge or passthrough modes?
- It's a Huawei B525
And the ISP has removed bridge support from the FW Can you ask your ISP about using a stand alone modem with out a built in router?

And the ISP has removed bridge support from the FW- Ok after some fiddling around tonight it appears the issue is with my ISP and its private ips.
I connected my router to a VPN and strait away the speed test starts working .
Still annoying it doesn't work as it should but at least I'm aware of the cause. Glad you were able to find out where the problem is.
Good Luck.
