Hi,

 

After setting up my new WiFi mesh, I have noticed a significant drop in my ethernet speed. I am on Virgin Media's 350mbps package and I was receiving this speed on my computer before switching to the Netgear Orbi. Now the highest speed I am getting is 150mbps with ethernet.

 

My other devices are receiving full speeds. Both WiFi and wired. It's just my computer that gets the slower speed. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Please clearly outline how your devices are connected in your home network using exact makes/models of each starting with the ISP device.

I assume your ethernet cable is hooked up to the main Orbi unit, not one of the satellites? If you're hooked up to a satellite, then that would probably be the root of your problem.

150mbps sounds like a wireless limitation. Your computer is not connected directly to your router or a switch connected to your router?
