Slow speeds
Hi. I have an RBR50 Orbi router, admittedly somewhat old. I recently received a new Comcast/Xfinity modem, and am supposed to have speeds up to 800mb. When I check my speed using the Xfinity modem...

A couple things.
1. what xfinity modem is it?
2. hardiwired into the modem, you should be able to get the full speeds you pay. I'd focus on getting that full speed, then move onto the orbi.
3. What firmware is on the orbi?
4. how are you testing speeds? Wired? wireless? built in app? Seperate controls?
