Orbi slower than Xfiniti router
Just had our internet fixed as the outside booster was bad. We were running 75 down and .5 up. After the fix, did a wifi test and the xfiniti router ran at 475 down and 18 up. Put it in bridge mod...
Make a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. This saves time if a reset is needed.
AP Mode Reference:

Enjoy. :smileywink:
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Power OFF the modem and RBR for 1 minute then back ON with the modem then RBR. Wire connect a PC to the RBR and speed test.
Has Armor or Circle been enabled?
Firmware V2.5.1.16
Comcast modem TG3482G
Roughly same speeds after reset
Did not acitivate armor or circle
And you are sure the modem has been fully bridged? Not just disabling the wifi radio on the modem...this doesn't count. :smileywink:
One thing to try out, put the ISP Modem back to router mode and then configure the RBR for AP mode. Leave the RBS OFF for now.
I just used the Bridge mode enable/disable button on ISP router. Is there something else I need to do? I did have the Orbi in router mode for wifi. Will try it in AP mode later today and let you know.
Thanks for your help
