Is Armor, Circle or Traffic Meter enabed on the RBR?
- badler4Jan 29, 2021AspirantYes, the traffic meter is enabled. I have had to step away from home for the moment, but I can try and disable it later if you think this might be something that is rattling down the speed.

There was posts a while back that mentioned Traffic meter causing speeds not to be where they are at. Try disabling it, if no change, I would factory reset and setup from scratch and be sure not to enable the aforementioned features. Wired speed should be to spec then.
