Slow LAN/Fast WiFi on Orbi RBK33
I am getting about 50% of my availble bandwidth using the LAN port on my RBR40 Orbi Router. My internet is 1GB fiber.
If I take the ethernet cable from the WAN port of the Router and plug it into my laptop, I get consistent speeds around 800Mbps.
If I plug my laptop into one of the LAN ports of the Router, I get consistent speeds around 400Mbps.
Anyone else having this problem? Is there a configuration setting that might be the culprit?

Firmware on the router?
what ont/gateway is it connected to?
Make sure parental controls, traffic monitoring, and access control are disabled. If they were enabled, disable them and reboot the router. Then try.
Firmware V2.5.1.22
ONT: AT&T BGW210 (fiber)
Parental controls, traffic monitoring, and access control are disabled, and have always been disabled.
Rebooted and reset multiple times. I've been troubleshooting for a week with no success.
This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopATT Modems:

I configured the ONT for passthru, and reset the Orbi Router, but I am still having the same problem.
