RBR50 Getting 1/2 Download Speed Than AT&T Gigabit BGW210-700 Gateway
Hello All,
Just had fiber installed, and I'm currently getting the following with the Speed Test directly through the AT&T Gateway. Image
I have the Gateway set up in Passthrough, with the MAC address of the RBR50 selected. Image 2
I'm using the newest Orbi Firmware (2.5.1.16), but am getting about 1/2 of the DL speed, and 2/3 UL speeds that are coming to the Gateway. Image 3
Am I missing something?
Any help you all could provide would be greatly appreciated!

What happens if you remove the IPPassthru and set the RBR for AP mode?
Seen others wtih problems with this particular model modem.

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/Orbi-AX-6000-and-AT-amp-T-fiber-gateway-issue/m-p/1890125/highlight/true#M2756I followed the steps in this post, and actually LOWERED my DL speed to 385 in the Orbi with it in AP Mode. Changing it back to Router Mode increased it back to 505.
The Dummy Switch is interesting. I have a Netgear GS108E-300NAS that's been in a box for a while that I might be able to use. However, I'd really rather use the setup we currently have if I can.
Did you power off the modem for 30 seconds then back on after changing to AP mode?
The main issue will be this modem and RBR. They don't seem to play well with each other.
