Slow wired download speed with AT&T Gigabit
I have AT&T Gigabit, and if I connect directly to the modem, I get 900mbps down/up. However, if I connect through Orbi (wired), the upstream remains the same, but the downstream cuts in half.

I tried IP passthrough, AP or Router Mode. Disabled all packet filters and advanced firewall rules in Modem. But nothing helps.
Is this an issue with Orbi?
What is your setup? Modem, Orbi? Or some type of modem/router or another stand alone router?
at&t router -> orbi rbr 50
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge 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 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.

There is no bridge mode for this modem. I've already enabled the IP Passhrough with fixed DHCP to the Orbi Router.
As I wrote in the original thread, that didn't help one bit.
I tried both AP and Router mode, and with and without the DHCP Servers in either modem or Orbi router.
Neither of them helped at all which is why I am posting the question whether the issue is the Orbi router itself.
Again, if I connect directly to the modem, I get 950mbps. If I connect to the Orbi ethernet port, I get 500mbps... At this point, I am blaming the Orbi here..
But I wanted to double check before I return this unit back to Best buy.
