Gigabit internet
I have gigablast internet connected to the WAN port. When I run a speed test with the orbi app I'm only show 400 to 500 mbps. Does the Orbi not support gig WAN?

Been some that can get this speed and some that can't.

agree with Retired_Member , don't use the app for speedtesting. Also follow what FURRYe38 recommends and make sure to do it with a hardwired connection. Only other thing I can recommend is to directly connect to your modem and see if you have gigabit speeds at the modem.
