I have the RBR750 along with the BGW320 as the modem

Hi... I am having similar issues with my set up. I have the RBR750 along with the BGW320 as the modem. For WiFi I am not getting more than 180 mbps for both upload and download speeds on any of my devices. Even when I'm right next to the router. 

I've tried both 2 and 3 methods and still same results. 


2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through 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.

 

Is there something that I am not doing to the modem correctly? The "configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost" isn't something that I am familiar with doing. When I run speed tests to the modem it is getting 1000 mbps for both upload and download.

    Do you have a way to test the wired speed (connecting a PC to a LAN port of the RBR)?

     

    What wifi devices are you using to test the speed?

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? 
    Using ISP Detected DNS or custom DNS?
    Is IPv6 Enabled or disabled?

     

    Ask you ISP to help you with the DMZ/IP Pass thru feature on the BGW320 gateway for the RBR in router mode. Don't use the DMZ/IP pass thru for AP mode.
