Which RBR or RBK do you have? 40 or 50?
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem/ONT the Orbi is connected too?
What is the speed test results with a wired PC and a browser connected to speedtest.net? Wired speedtesting is preferred as wireless can't perform the same as wired.

Are you for real? I have no idea what you're talking about! I'm not a computer technician and I have the RBK50 I think, with the wall socket plug in satellite. It came as a budle. I don't know how to check on the things that you've mentioned. I'm not an IT person. I'm just a normal Joe who has an Orbi Mesh Router and I set it up the way all Orbi's are setup. I didn't change any settings or remove any settings. Everything should be as it were if you get it straight from the factory. Also, I've never seen speeds higher than 300mbps download on my Orbi Router and I was paying for a 1GBPS plan. I don't know if this router can handle speeds higher than 300mbps.
