Orbi with fios
I have Fios. When using their router I get 900Mbs both directions.
When using Orbi I get about 500 down and near 900 up.
Why the big difference?
Thanks!
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
I would try option #3
Try a factory reset and set up from scratch with the Orbi, be sure to not enable QoS, Traffice Meter or Access controls, Circle.
Try testing with IPv6 disabled or enabled.
