RBK50 Download Speed Issues
Just installed the RBK50 with Satellite. Running V2.3.5.30. Discovered a strange issue. If I run a speed test from my ATT modem (Fiber 1000), I get 900+ up and 900+ down. When I run the speed test fr...

So the new ATT router didn't help things (although the BGW210 IP Passthrough is so much nicer to setup than DMZPlus). Still getting 900+ mbps up (Great!), but only about 500mbps down (Boo!).
I've thought of trying to set the ethernet interfaces to gig-full instead of autonegotiating to see if that works, but I don't see those options on the Netgear.
I've also run into strange connectivity problems. Every once in a while, I just lose internet connectivity. It seems like DNS stop resolving, but it's been a big enough headache that I just shut the Orbis down and am now running off the ATT router directly.
So, I want to give this one more good try. What would you recommend I do to get these running smoothly? I can figure out the ATT weirdness another time.

Change the ATT modem back to router mode then configure the RBR for AP mode. You should see better speeds in AP mode.

I've need no speed issues with v30 when in AP mode. Only in router mode does the WAN to LAN speeds suffer for some on v30 including prior versions of FW.

I'll try this. I'll do a factory reset and spin things up in AP mode. Stay tuned.
