How To Get Full FTTP Speeds via EE Smart Hub through Netgear NBR750?

Hi everyone,

I recently got upgraded to the FTTP so I have 1g speeds now and the speeds through the EE Smart Hub are great but when I attach my Netgear Orbi to it I seem to only get 90mbps or around that. I currently have a TP Link Deco system connected to the EE Smart Hub and had similar issues with that but it was pointed out I needed to set the Deco system to access point mode and that fixed the speeds but I have tried setting the Netgear Orbi system to access point and it makes no difference so I was wondering if there is something else I need to do?

 

You may wonder why I am trying to set up an Orbi when I already have a Deco system but I keep having issues with connectivity with the Deco so I am testing an Orbi to see if I could make the switch to them rather than use TP Link equipment.

Many thanks 😁

@ChrisUK24  although both will work if both routers have different IP address ranges, the Orbi would be best in AP mode with DHCP off meaning the EE Hub supplies all the IP addresses.

Are you able to check the WAN speed on the Orbi, and is it connected with a Cat5c or better ethernet cable?

 

Hey @ChrisUK24  glad you got it sorted and am happy to have helped you get there.
