Orbi downliad speed is capped/throttling
If I'm using the orbi as main router I get the max speed from ISP, 500 Mb download and 50 Mb upload. But when I use it as access point my download speed capped at 100. Tryed almost everything and nothing worked. Cables are cat 6 and I tried factory rest.
Please help because I need to use my asus router as main router RT-ac8u.
