Upload speeds very slow on Orbi via Wifi - On ethernet its at 100%- why?
So I've just got a new 200mbps dedicated fibre connection (clean full signal) and am using my Orbi Wifi system. On the Router Speedtest via the Orbi app (the speedtest of the router and the connection directly, a.k.a. not Wifi) the connection on download is 321mbps and upload is around 150mbps, i.e. full capacity. But on Wifi for some reason the download speed is 260-290mbps but the upload only around 25-50mbps. I can't for the love of god figure out why the upload speed is so slow! Can someone please help me? Is there a setting or something that helps the UPLOAD Speeds go to full throttle via Wifi? All my connections are via Cat 7 cables and everything is top grade!
- I ended up flogging Netgear Orbi and buying the Zyxel Multy X. Way way better!!!

are you in router mode or AP mode?
funny, i get faster upload speeds on wifi than download speeds..
I'm in Router mode.
are you connected directly to your modem, or connected through a switch or another router?
Hello CandaceWalton
What upload speed should you be getting? Have you tried new cables? did you make sure your modem is bridged or you are running Orbi in AP mode if you can not bridge your modem?
