I can finally use the iOS app to connect locally without disabling iCloud Private Relay.
Unfortunately the speed test no longer works reliably from the web interface; seems like every other attempt fails and the passing attempts report low speeds (~400) compared to what I used to see (~1400). The app seems to regularly work but reports a range of 400-700. My wired device reports an expected result of 940 for its connection. Maybe the test is no longer detecting the closest source and maybe multi stream is no longer on?
- Any Additional reports or confirmations that this fixes the reboot issues? Would like to cancel my ebay listing.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STBP is recommended if your ISP service box supports 2.5Gb WAN port connection rate.
What browser are you using?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I'm using a privately-owned Arris SB2800 with link aggregation enabled and an Orbi RBR850 with WAN aggregation enabled (and active). The service is XFinity 1200 Mbit and I previously saw 1400/40 speeds via the Orbi speed test from both the web interface and the iOS app.
The hardwired speed tests are done using the AppleTV Ookla Speed test app where I previously and still currently see 940 (the max via the 1 gigabit connection).
I have not factory reset and started over.

I would try a wired PC connected to the RBR and use Ookla Speed test app. Not sure about onboard app or Orbi app. Onboard app maybe using a server site that's not the most accurate to test with.
I would power OFF the modem for 1 minute the back ON if you do a factory reset on the RBR as well. Be sure to not enable Access Controls, Armor, SPC or Traffic Meter if you reset.
