Speed Question

We have AT&T fiber internet which is supposed to run at 1,000 MB/s upload and download.  I have the wireless turned off on their router and then have the Orbi router connected to that router via ethernet cable.  When I do a speed test on my Orbi using the app it shows 95 MB/s upload and download speed.

 

Shouldn't I be getting a much higher speed?  Trying to figure out how I am losing 900 MB/s is speed when the two devices are connected via ethernet cable.   Any suggestions?

Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)

Re: Speed Question

By convention, MB/s means megabytes per second. Internet speeds are usually expressed in megabits per second, or Mb/s or Mbps. I'm gonna assume your numbers are in Mb/s.

Anyway, 95 Mb/s is often a sign that one of the connections is running at 100 Mb/s. This could be due to a bad Ethernet cable. If you have a spare, try it.
