AC3000 Gigabit Speed Upgrade Failure
I just upgraded amy internet service to gigabit speed. When I plug directly into the wall, the speed is over 900, but when I go through my Orbi AC300, it maxs out at 300. Is there a setting that need...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.Ethernet speeds with a wired PC connected at the RBR should see near 900Mpbs with Ooklas installable speed test app.
Wireless speeds with a wireless PC could be anywhere from 200-500Mpbs depending on the devices design and support. You'll never see anything near 900Mpbs on 5Ghz AX on this model Orbi.

Is there a setting that needs to be changed or something different that needs to be done to access the gigabit speed through my Orbi?
The speed that you will get on various devices will depend on a few things specific to those devices (age, wireless protocol, etc.).
I found a nice write-up that explains a lot at this site:
Those wifi speeds are probably based on 2x2 MIMO devices. Some 4x4 MIMO devices can do 900Mpbs and over on AC and AX modes depending on support and configuration.
