Orbi RBR50 is not supporting 900Mb+- on the WAN to LAN test
So I'd like to call NG's attention to the following test results for Orbi RBR50. I'm not seeing anything near 900mbps on the WAN to LAN test. Using both iPerf and Duckwares simple WAN to LAN test pro...
I can confirm this. I have a Fiber link, 1000 / 100. When I connect through 1Gig Ethernet from my MBP directly to ISP router, make a PPPoE login on the Mac, I can get 950/100, easily and repeatedly.
Then, ISP router is set to bridge mode, Eth LAN/WAN to ORBI RBR50: download speed is consistently around 500 MBps, upload stays near 100. I tested with both my MBP connected through Eth to ORBI and also using firmware included speed test. Same results, which lead me to conclude that ORBI is simply not capable to use all the available download badnwidth.
(Just to prevent noob-oriented questions - my ORBI is on latest firmware, I always test using Ethernet directly to router, always using the same server for all speed tests etc)
Thanks for letting us know and the confirmation. Please contact NG support and let them know about this.
