Question for claification ... I am a FIOS user on 1GB plan and I currently have been using my Orbi in router mode recieving great speeds over wifi and with throughput over ethernet. Just like everyone else once this new FW 4.6.3.7 Released my overall speed have take a massive dump. Wifi AVG 90 up /75 down and Ethernet is showing about the same. However. when I use an old FIOS gateway incoming speed is still showing 940 down /900 up coming into the house. My question is anyone using their Orbi in AP mode instead of router mode using my old FIOS gateway still having these wifi speeds issue. WFH need help.

Are you speed testing using the RBRs build in speed test app or Orbi app or are you speed texting using external speed test apps like Ooklas installable speed test app on a PC or device?

Both. Using speedtest installed App on machine and using fast.com to test speeds coming from the Orbi.

Ok, others reported as I've seen as well that onboard speed test and orbi app report less results than external ones. I use Ooklas and see to spec speeds. NG is aware of this.
You can try getting the beta from NG support and see if this changes what your seeing.
