Hi team

 

I have had the 852 for a while now always had it behind another router and in AP mode but I wanted to use the VPN function of the Orbi. So I changed to the Orbi set it up in Router Mode. Got all the MTU settings from my ISP. It works fine for a while at full speed (850-950mb down and  500mb up). But every so often it just drops to 100mb both ways.

 

I did have this issue before, but decided to go back to the AP mode and use my router.

 

But now I need the VPN for longer option I wanted to move back to it.

 

I updated the Firmware to the latest V4.6.14.3 Then I factory reset my Orbi Router and then set up fresh without copying settings and twice in 1 hour it has dropped from full speed back down to the 100mb both ways.

 

Anyone else have this with the Orbi and Vodafone?

Replace the Ethernet cable. Sounds like it is dropping to 100Mbit instead of Gigabit.

Tried that.
Use the same cable I do for my Vodafone router and I don’t have the speed drops

I used an Orbi a few years back and would experience this issue. I never really found the route cause  but a work around I would do was to turn off VLAN tagging- reboot router-turn on VLAN tagging-reboot router.





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

You should be able to use any VPN server behind another router - you just have to forward the correct ports.
