Multiple Orbi devices with Router set up use AP question

Also be sure to test wired speeds before doing any wireless speed testing. Current wireless standards can't perform as well as wired LAN cable testing. Besure that your not enabling QoS, Traffic Meter or Access controls after doing a factory reset. These will slow the performance down. On 1g ISPs Qos isn't realy needed. 

I've also found that PC CPU configuration also can effect speed testing. I have a couple of dual core PCs, 1 from 10 years ago, still runs great, however can't see anything near 900Mb on wired testing. Same goes for my Mac Book Pro 2008. They max out at around 200-300Mb. Now if I use my Mac Mini 2012 quad core, I see 900Mb on wired testing. So this is something to keep in mind.

the new ISP router is a Calix 844G. 

 

Unfortunatly, if I want to bridge the Calix, the ISP is requireing a dedicated IP address and a DMZ.

 

So, I disabled all the radio's on the Calix so no WiFi there, I turned the Orbi into the AP mode. 

 

I am a bit disapointed.  the Orbi's aren't giving me the throughput I should be getting. 

 

I have a couple systems hardwired to the new Calix, and I an getting just about a Gig up/down.  but via the Orbi, only high 200's up/down.  Even the the "speed test" on the RBR50 is showing ~800 up/down.

 

I have reset everything, tried again, and alas.  still only mid to high 200's on any WiFi device - 5 Ghz
