Hi forum,
I'm using one RBR50 and four RBS40 around to house for wireless access points (AP mode only). Wireless is working great and I recently tried @Voxel's custom firmware on 1 satellite to fix stability issues, which it did indeed. Very good stuff!
Thanks to the custom firmware, ssh and iperf3 I was able to measure the throughput of the ethernet ports on the back of the satellite. I'm using these to connect to other unmanaged switches to connect my entertainment devices for example.
I was surprised that I only got around 250 Mbit/s instead of the gigabit Netgear advertises! I then tried one of the ethernet ports from the router and I got around 500 Mbit/s.
So my first question is, shouldn't this be a constant 1 gigabit or at least 950 Mbit/s on every ethernet port?
Is there some throttling on the ethernet ports on the Orbi's?
Hopefully somebody can explain this to me. Thanks a lot.
