orbi ac3000 slow LAN speeds
I bought an Orbi a few months back and it was functioning fine. When i did my first speed test after setting it up i was getting pretty good speeds. I pay for 1 GB x 1GB Fiber from AT&T. As of recent...
it is indeed a Arris BGW210-700
Ok, been others posting having same or simiar problems with this system and this particular modem.
Try the Orbi system in AP mode yet?
Some things to review:

Modem FW may have broke good speeds between the modem and Orbi in router mode:

Seems to be problematic for Orbi and this modem.
Orbi does work on 1G ISP with cable modems:

intresting.... I will try disabling the firewall on the BGW the modem is already in passthrough as i have static IP addresses in a block of 5 and i manage what IP im using from my Orbi. I do have some dummy switches laying around if that does not fix the issue. Thanks for help. I will mark as solved once i confirm one of the two methods you posted confirms fixes my solution.
Sounds good. Hope something works out to get the speeds up. Keep us posted.
"this issue was happening on the previous version of the firmware as well. '"
