Be sure your using good quality LAN cable between the ISP Modem and RBR.
Check the RBRs status connection button on the RBRs web page under Advanced Tab/Internet section. The WAN port connection should read 1000Mpbs...Be sure your getting same 1000Mpbs connection rate between your wired PC and the RBR.
Has a full power OFF of the ISP modem and RBR for 1 minute or more then back ON been performed?

The wan port only shows 100m despite using the same ethernet cable I am receiving full bandwidth when switching to older nighthawk router and even tried two brand new cat 7 ethernet cables.. multiple reboots have been done

Do you have your prior router on hand by chance? If so, you don't have to connect the old router to the modem, just power ON the old router and connect the WAN port of the RBR to the LAN port of the older router. Check the connection status again on the RBR. If it doesnt' change to 1000Mpbs, I presume the RBR is faulty and needs replaced.
- Captainmichael7Nov 20, 2021AspirantYes a full reset has been done.
What I tried before this response was connecting modem ethernet to wan port of nighthawk router and then connecting ethernet from lan port of older nighthawk to wan port of rbr and switching to AP mode... it is showing 1000 mbps on the wan in the status screen
I was on the phone with netgear earlier before I switched the setup and they looked at the stats screen and didnt even acknowledge that wan was only reading 100 mb
I am lost at what is going on- Captainmichael7Nov 20, 2021AspirantSorry.. I meant that the old nighthawk router is showing 1000 mbs in the wan status screen however the rbr is only showing 100 mbs
