Seemingly Erroneous Speedtest Result

Question

Hi Folks,&nbsp;This is a new install with Netgear DM200 DSL modem on Frontier Communications. &nbsp;Orbi SW was upgraded to latest.My normal speedtest results are 5M down and .7M up with my old hardware.With the Orbi built in speedtest feature I get 5M down but only .1M up. &nbsp;But if I run speedtest on my WiFi connected iPhone, I get the expected 5/.7 reesult.I am having trouble getting some of my security cameras to work and wonder if the problems are related.&nbsp;Thanks in advance to the community for your assistance.&nbsp;Russ in WV.&nbsp;

You may need to disable the DHCP server on the DM200 page 62 should help.

No such luck. The Netgear DM200 DSL modem was in modem only mode.&nbsp;I cross checked&nbsp;the&nbsp;DSL,&nbsp;WAN, LAN and Internet&nbsp;settings in the DM200 &amp; Orbi&nbsp;against my Netgear D6200 DSL modem/router and found no differences.&nbsp;My AT&amp;T Microcell does not work either.&nbsp;Had to revert to the D6200.
