Rbr40 wifi slow
I have rbr40 orbi. Firmware 2.7.3.22. When I connect lan cable to modem the speed is 400+ mbps. When I check speed in orbi app the max speed it takes is only around 90mbs. What could be the problem ...

Modem is actiontec t3200.
I don't have armor or any other features enabled on rbr40.
The modem does give speed of 400mbps when connected to laptop using network cable. So does the model # matter much in this case ?

FURRYe38 is correct in the double nat. Its one of the key details as the actiontec can have its own qos/routing functions.
Try 1 of the 3 options he outlined to correct the issue. Then try the rbr40.
also, make sure when testing wireless speeds that you're testing 5ghz. 2.4ghz is slow and sensitive to interference
