I have an RBK53 connected to an Xfinity XB6 modem that is in Bridge Mode. I have a Gigabit connection. Prior to installing the RBK53 I would get download speeds of ~930 Mbps with a wired connection, ...
Thanks for your reply. The link rate for my iPhone is 650 Mbps, not 866 Mbps. What do I do about that?

What's interesting is that my wife's iPhone 11 is sitting right next to mine, and the Orbi app says 866 Mbps for her and 650 Mbps for me. Both of us are runniing iOS 13.3.
