Re: What speed should I expect when connected to the satellite

My Setup:
RBR50, RBS50 and 2 x RBS20.
RBR50 is connected to a 8-port TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
And the 3 satellites are connected to the switch with Cat 6E cable.
All running firmware V2.5.1.16.
I am noticing the following:
- On the ORBI router, when I do the speed test, I see download speeds of ~290Mbps.
- And when my iPhone is connected over 5G to the router, using fast.com, I see download speed of ~280 Mbps
- But when the phone is connected to a satellite (RBS50 or RBS20) over 5Ghz, I see the download speed ~90Mbps (using fast.com).
While things are fine, I just wanted to know if that download speed expected when connected to the satellite which has a wired backhaul.
Cheers,
Rampi

Glad to hear it was a simple fix!
If you mark it solved it can potentially help the next person as well as others aren't going through the thread trying to fix the problem again 🙂

Re: What speed should I expect when connected to the satellite
check your switch too. Maybe its not negotiating a 1gig connection and is only connecting at 10/100mbps.
What speed do you get directly off the satellites ethernet port? That takes the wireless out of the equation

Re: What speed should I expect when connected to the satellite
Will check that. Thanks.
Wonder if there's a way on the Orbi either in the web interface or in the telnet to check what speed has been negotiated on the ethernet interface.

Re: What speed should I expect when connected to the satellite
Indeed that was problem.
The cable connecting the Orbi router to the switch was a Cat 5 cable - it was in 100 Mbps.
I changed it to a Cat 5e and it is all fine now.
Initial test is looking good. Will check a bit more and update.
Thanks for the inputs.
