I have tried to run a QoS speed test (ookla) on my newly setup orbi both via the PC browser [via orbilogin.net], as well as the Orbi app on the tablet - and both fail to detect internet bandwith, yet both are able to access internet via a wireless orbi connection (which is connected to a third party modem [Belong F@ST 4315], which is connected to a FttN [fibre to the node] broadband network eg.Belong|Telstra). I then tried doing a speedtest via the browser and http://beta.speedtest.net/ and that did work.
so, any ideas why thats happening ?

I'm having a similar(?) issue. My QOS speedtest does not return accurate results. I can perform a speedtest, wired through the Orbi and get 900+ Mbps, but the QOS speedtest never pulls over 400Mbps.
If you get the speed you need on your clients, then forget about the Orbi speedtest. Router-based speed tests are often inaccurate because routers are designed to efficiently pass traffic throught the router, not serve as endpoints.
Fair enough. I just wondered if there was a setting I hadn't set up correctly in order for that to be accessed and assessed, and hence optimized...
Internet speeds in Australia are pretty slow so I'm not likely to exceed the bandwidth of the orbi anytime soon, so maybe ill leave things as they are for now.
