I am working with a friend who is having slower download than upload when using the Orbi, but not when connected to his Verizon CR1000A. Please help!!

"Slower" as in:
- A few megabits difference, or
- 100's of megabits difference?
Is the Orbi in router or Access Point (AP) mode?

It is 1000ish down/200ish up. I had my friend confirm and he has 1Gb both up and down.
It is setup as a router.

If it really is 1000 down and 200 up, I would not be concerned (who has that much to upload?)
Doesn't AT&T have a speed test on their phone 'app' that reports up/down speed to their unit?

Is the CR1000A in bridge mode? If not, while using the Orbi as a router then you have 2 routers operating and Double NAT. Suggest trying the Orbi in AP mode or else put the CR1000A in bridge mode.
I also agree with the other post - These speeds are already far more that anyone needs. 🙂

Thank you for your assistance.
Is it normal for an Orbi connected to a Verizon modem to get 850 down/150 up on a 1Gb connection?
