RBK23 upload speeds in Router mode

RBK23 upload speeds in Router mode

Hi there, 

 

Why Netgear mesh systems (like my RBK23) limits dramatically the upload speeds setting up as Router? if I use the system as AP, all works perfect, but in Router mode... I can't obtain speeds over 250Mbps in a 600/600 line. I have try all but I cant solve it. I have the last firmware.

 

Anybody with the same problem?...

 

Thanks in advance.

Make sure qos, traffic monitoring, parental controls, and access controls are disabled and reboot the router. those can sometimes decrease speeds.

Thx for your reply, all this services are disabled, but how can I check if QoS is off? I've read in some site that QoS is default off, it's true?

What modem/gateway is it connected to? are you running in a double nat?

The ISP modem, is a HGU from Movistar/O2, the typical Mitrastar mounted by this corp like this one:

 

router-movistar-hgu-930x487

 

 

The modem is in bridge mode and all weight of network is over the Orbi RBR, I have single NAT.

Photos have to be approved by a moderator. 

And it wouldn't be the first time an ISP supplied device didn't have a properly functioning bridge mode/passthrough mode.

Oh, sorry, I didnt konw.

 

It would be, but I've see this router (and same ISP) bridged working well with another systems.

Anyway, it's very strange, because when I setup the system for first time, I have the complete bandwith, but If I reboot the router, in this moment I start to have slow up speeds... And allways with a specific speed, without fluctuations.

Re: RBK23 upload speeds in Router mode

Did you try it with the moviestar in router mode and the netgear in access point mode?

Re: RBK23 upload speeds in Router mode

Yes, I have had it in AP mode and works fine. I’ve search info about this problem, and I find something very interesting... Movistar can’t warranty speeds over ppoe in bridged mode, and I think that the problem is the HGU router. I’ve bought an neutral ONT Ubiquiti for remove HGU. I will receive it tomorrow, when I test it, I will report the results here. Thanks!!!
