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.
