Orbi wired backhaul performance

Has anyone that isn’t experiencing issues gotten an idea of the performance gains, if any, with wired backhaul? Also, has netgear mentioned anything about opening up the 3rd high speed band to wirele...

How long are you waiting to speed test after you plug back into the router a 2nd time? Seems like it's working on 1st test however when you come back around, it's lower speeds. Wondering if there is some latent process in the system thats not being cleared in a period of time from when you 1st test to 2nd test. Does this happen if you come at a later time frame or day later?

I tested the ethernet cable definitely not that. When I plug directly into the cable the Orbi router is using I get 940Mbps. When I plug my other cable into the satellites I get 940Mbps. When I plug that same cable into the back of the Orbi router 700Mbps.

 

I did full resets of all the Orbis when flashing them with the latest firmware.

I've tested it multiple times throughout the day. It's always consistantly 200+Mbps lower than if I plug directly into the switch or another Orbi.

    Ok. Does it happen with a different PC or laptop? Just seeing if this tracks to other wired PCs as well. Is odd.
