Orbi RBR50 slow download speeds with new BT Smart Hub2
Hi, I have just had BT Full Fibre 900 installed with BT Smart Hub2 router and at router I get 700+ MBps download speed. Previous ISP was also Full Fibre and with that I achieved good download speed in AP mode on Orbi RBR50 - but now I get 110MBps Upload and sub-30MBps download. I have updated the Orbi firmware and checked the ethernet connections to the BT Hub, but cannot improve the Orbi download speed. I also tried disabling the BT router WIFI - also no improvement on Orbi download speed. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Try leaving the bt hub in router mode (disable its wifi) and put the netgear in AP mode.
You might ask the ISP if the router hub is needed and if there is a separate ONT, if you can remove the router hub and put the RBR in it's place. Something to ask about.
