Orbi RBR50 throttling connection

What FW version had you been using when the orbi was getting 900Mb?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Have you tried the Orbi in AP mode with the modem/router?
Hello,
It was the firmware before the V2.3.1.44, can't recall but I was always downloaded the latest at the time.
The modem is a Huawei Echolife HG8010H and the ISP's router is a Huawei HG659b.
I didn't test the ORBI in AP mode, I can try, but I wouldn't like the idea for long term.
Thank you.
Would have been v210 I believe.
And your modem is bridged fully when using the Orbi in router mode? Can the ISP router be removed and use the ONT directly to the Orbi in router mode?
The modem can not be removed, but the ISP router has been removed, so it's running full router mode. There are no settings on the modem, it's a "dummy" box to turn the fiber into an ethernet.
