With the Luma when I ran speed test on fast.com, I would consistently get close to the bandwidth I pay for. With the Orbi I'm getting less on both wired and wireless. It's about half the speed. Any ideas why? If I run a speed test directly at the modem, I get the speeds I pay for.
My setup is as follows: modem to Orbi. Desktop connected to Orbi.
what mode is the modem running in and what mode is the orbi running in
eg do you have the modem in bridge mode or running as a modem / router and do you have the orbi router running in router mode or AP mode
as it may be the fact 2 routers are doing strange things
what type of internet do you have and whats the modem make and model and does it also do voice / phone services

The modem is a cable modem (this is the equipment where the ISP's co-ax comes in) without wi-fi.
