So with the RBR connected to the LAN port of the old router, the RBRs status page reports 100Mpbs?

Ok, I would get the RBR replaced. If it's only showing 100Mpbs on the WAN port while connected to a 1000Mpbs port on the modem and a known working router, the RBR would be bad. Either contact NG support and ask about an RMA or return the system to place of purchase if thats still available to you.
- Captainmichael7Nov 20, 2021AspirantUghhh my son just clicked that as a solution.... this has obviously not been resolved..
So it appears that the hardware is defective.. Am I correct?? but how do I convince them to RMA?? They just keep coming up with different excusues... - FURRYe38Nov 20, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Ya, something is happening on the RBR that when connecting to two different 1000Mpbs connections is NOT getting that link rate on the RBR. If resets and power cycles are not helping, then the HW needs to be replaced.
