Thanks. For some reason I get no connection when I use a LAN cable from my PC direct into the Netgear CM1100 cable modem. However, when using LAN cable from PC to ORBI router with all other devices off the network and using Ookla app on PC, finally measured 900-940mbps incoming to PC, with the 41mbps upload speed. 

 

I guess thats as good as it will get with the older ORBI RBR50 / AC3000 router set up.

 

thanks

You have to power cycle or reboot the CM modem when you connect your PC to the modem. You can connect the RBR and PC to the modem at the same time to see if they both get an IP address.
