Gryphon wifi router connected to orbi satellite slow.

Modem Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

Hi,

 

My orbi router is connected to my AT&T wifi gateway (fiber 300 Mb) with 2 additional orbi satellites around the house. I was unable to update apps on mobile devices so turned off wifi on AT&T wifi gateway and changed my orbi to an access point. Afterwards, I can update and download apps now on wireless devices.

 

My question: I have a Gryphon wifi router that I use for parental control/monitoring hooked to an orbi satellite with ethernet cable broadcasting a different SSID than the orbi. The wifi speed test for Gyphon wifi router is much slower than orbi wif speedtest. Why is this happening?

 

Any advice or solutions to slow wifi on my Gryphon router would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
