1. I find it difficult to come up with any explanation of how a device with a 100 Mbit/s ethernet port could itself be generating enough traffic to cause changes of more than 600 Mbit/s in download speed and more than 100 Mbit/s in upload speed. I would suggest a complete look at your network topology and IP address settings of all devices on your network.
2. Regrettably the response from Obihai support is just another demonstration of its unworthiness of the name. Opening ports is a different thing from forwarding them. While virtually every home router can do the latter, none of the dozens I have examined have controls for the former. And anyway whether those Obi-specific ports are open or not would have no impact on your speed tests using a computer.
My home network setup is pretty common. GF fiber with a Netgear Nighthawk X10 R9000 router (about 5 weeks old with latest firmware applied. Likely one of the best performing routers for home use). Cat 6 cable from router to Office which has one drop. The cable from drop plugs into a Netgear G5605V4 unmanaged (dumb) switch. My PC plugs into that dumb switch and also the Obi. I have had no network or bandwidth issues until I purchased the Obi last week and plugged it into the dumb switch. Bandwidth returns to normal if Obi is unplugged?
I tried several things but here are ones I recall:
1. Using different patch cords
2. Moving to other switch ports
3. By passing dumb switch (using Obi LAN) which would not have worked anyway because of 30Mbps limit.
4. Toying with the ports per Obi Support
5. Disabling SIP ALG on Router
I will experiment with it later as time permits.
Yes, Obi support was very disappointing. Maybe, I did not get a good support person? It appears the members on this forum are more knowledgable than their support.
