What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
When you testing with the RBR in the mix, are you speed testing with a PC and a speedtest app on the PC or speed testing with the speedtest app on the RBRs web page?
What happens if you configure the RBR for AP mode and speed test?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed with out enableing QoS/Speedtest, Traffic Meter and Any access controls on the RBR?

When I test on the Orbi router which is just connected via Ethernet cable (and all the Wifi Radios on the AT&T device are turned off), I get ~500 down, 935 up. I have run this test many times and the router from Netgear is half the speed down. Why?
These aren't speed tests on devices, these are tests on the router/modem themselves via either the ORBI App or via AT&T app.
