Orbi Speedtest reports 900mbps, but PS4 connection via LAN is poor
Okay, so I use Optimum as my ISP, and I pay for 1 GB internet. I have a Netgear Nighthawk CM1200 as my modem, and Orbi as my mesh network (RBR50 as my router, and 2 satellites). I work and game from ...
Do other wired PCs or Laptops get near 900Mpbs while connected at the RBR?
What does the connect rate link speed show on the RBRs web page under Advanced tab/Show Statistics for the PS when connected to the RBR?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.
When I look at "show statistics" for the LAN port plugged in it says 1000M/Full under status. I also tried this for my laptop, and I'm getting slightly better but similar speeds as the PS4 (~230mbps down on speedtest), when the Orbi speedtest is saying 900+ .
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute. Factory reset the Orbi router and power it off. Power ON the ISP modem and let it sync. Then power ON the Orbi router and walk thru the setup wizard again using a wired PC and a web browser.
Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release.
