Orbi Anywhere Access feature capped my WiFi speeds to 100 Mbps — turn it off
I have gigabit fiber from att and use ip passthrough to get near gigabit WiFi speeds on my orbi 770 (model RBE771) plus satellite.
At some point recently, netgear pushed and enabled some untested vibe coded access anywhere update which sends all my traffic through to their cloud, for some stupid reason. Disable it for your own sanity.
Burned all my Claude credits and five hours of my life tonight troubleshooting this. Don’t make my mistake. Disable that pos setting in the orbit app under settings. Make sure you’re “connected locally” as shown, then go to settings> anywhere access and make sure it’s disabled.
