Bad performance with Fios
My original setup was Fios Router (g1100) -> Netgear Orbi Router in AP mode. I changed the Orbi to Router mode and disconnected the Fios Router. Performance was good with the original setup, but is horrible with the new setup. I went with the new setup figuring it would increase performance.
I have Fios Gigabit and I am getting 50Mbps in areas I was getting 250-300Mbps before. Is there any setting on the Orbi I need to change?

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Try a factory reset on the ORbi router and setup from scratch. Be sure to not enable QoS, Traffic Meter or Access controls. These seem to slow down Orbi on 1Gb services.

Just to exclude the radio factors and settings, what speed do you get using a wired device or using the Orbi built-in speed test?
