I am wondering whether anyone can shed some light on why my Orbi router only achieves speeds of around 460 mbps when connected directly to the BT open reach box on my wall when the home hub will achieve over 900 Mbps.
I am on the BT 900 Fibre to premise service.
The connection shows the downlink and uplink speed as 1000Mbps
If I use the BT Hub 2 and put the Orbi into AP mode, I get test speeds of over 900 Mbps when I run the speed test on the router.
Remove the BT Hub and switch the Orbi to Router mode, plugged direct to the wall, my speeds drop by half to around 460 Mbps. Admittedly still fast but nowhere near the BT Hub 2.
My upload speed achieves higher than the anticipated speed of 100 achieve it 111 Mbps upload on both Orbi and BT Hub.
I am talking about when the router runs the speed test, not running a speed test on my iPhone or IPad etc. I understand the limitations of speed test on connected devices particularly on wireless networks.
Any help would be appreciated as I would love to remove the BT Hub 2 altogether.
