Low speed XBOX series X on LAN port RBK53
Dear readers, I have an RBR50 hardwired with CAT6 to my internet provider's modem. The RBS50 is connected by wire to the RBR50. On both routers/satellites I have the full speed of 1 gig up/down and 2 ms ping with WIFI. If I connect my XBOX series X wired to the RBR50 with CAT6 I only have an upload of 180mbit/s instead of 1 gig. The download speed is also much lower. If I connect the XBOX directly to my internet provider's modem, I have full speed. Does anyone know how this is possible?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.Is IPv6 enabled or disabled on the RBR?
Do other wired devices like PCs get near 900Mpbs when connected behind the RBR?
- I only use CAT6 cables. Firmware is V2.7.4.24, the latest version. Ipv6 was enabled and I turned it on, with no results. Unfortunately I don't have a computer with which I can test these high speeds. It is true that the RBS, wired to RBR, transmits 1 gig via WIFI.
FW isn't most current:

(1733+866+400Mbps)‡1733 being the wireless backhaul between the RBR and RBS only. 866 is for front haul 5Ghz. 400 is 2.4Ghz.
Game console should be ethernet connected vs wireless.
It would be really helpful to know which Internet Service Provider (ISP) is being used and what speed they have promised to deliver. "Full Speed" is a bit ambiguous.
Some aspects of the problem statement appear inconsistent, such as " On both router/satellites I have the full speed of 1 gig up/down". Yet the XBox reports 180Mbps up. How is the 1 gig speed being measured?
The RBK53 system cannot possibly deliver 1 Gbps over WiFi. i.e. " the RBS, wired to RBR, transmits 1 gig via WIFI" cannot be correct. How is that being measured? The fastest possible Link Rate is 833Mbps, which typically results in actual speed measurement of 400+ Mbps.
