Orbi RBR50 Not Delivering Gigabit Service When Connected to a NetGear CM1200 Cable Modem
Just upgrade to Cox's Gigabit service here in Gilbert, AZ. Purchased a Netgear Nighthawk CM1200 cable modem and hooked it up to my Orbi RBR50 router. I have a wired house so besides the Orbi route...

The firmware version on the RBR50 is 2.3.5.30.
I'm not complaining about the Wi-Fi speeds as they are a heck of a lot faster then they were with my old service. I was wondering if the Orbi RBR50 was capable of utilizing the full Gigablast service. Tonight I'll put it to the test by plugging my new Lenovo X1 Yogi into a port on the Orbi and running a speed test, then directly in the Nighthawk CM1200 to see if I am in fact, getting Gigabit service from Cox.
