Hardwired download speed slow through Orbi, fast to computer
Hi all,
I have a new Orbi AC3000 (RBR50) and i'm finding that the wired download speeds are slow. I have gigabit FIOS.
Hardwire FIOS ONT directly to 2018 Mac mini using two cat5E cables coupled...
What model Orbi do you have?
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

I also have FIOS and the max connection I can get with orbi seems to be 550ish down and 950 up...if I bypass orbi get a consistent 900/900.
Rbr 50
Firmware v2.3.5.30
It’s connected to the Verizon ONT directly via cat 6

What is the model# of the ISP ONT the NG router is connected too? Any built in router here or just ONT to ethernet connection with any external router?
Were seeing some issues with 50 series Orbi systems and getting WAN to LAN speeds is not achieving anything near 900Mbps:

OK, any router built in to the ONT can be a factor as well.
If it does happen to have a built in router, configure the RBR50 for AP mode then speed test. You should see near 900Mbps.I as others have seen this problem, seems that there is a hardware accelleration with in the FW that is not getting enabled or a problem in this area that seems to cause the RBR50 series to not see 900Mbps on the Wan to Lan speed test.
I would file a support ticket and inform NG of what your seeing:
