RBR50 unable to handle gigabit connection?
Hi there, I recently purchased the RBK50 to improve the WiFi range in my house and have configured the RBR50 as a router rather than an AP but it seems to be having trouble handling my gigabit connect...
The version of FW isn't the problem as this has been on going since before v38:

My connection is 900/500, PPPoE, vlan 10 tagging. The ONT is a Nokia G-140W-C.
Using the internal Speedtest app in both scenarios:
ONT -> RBR50 - speeds around 400 down/300 up
ONT -> Fritzbox -> RBR50 (AP mode) - speeds around 900 down/500 up
This suggests to me that the RBR50 cannot handle the routing of a gigabit connection.
Has anybody had similar experiences?
Thanks!
