https://kb.netgear.com/...
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.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended if your ISP service box supports 2.5Gb WAN port connection rate.
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.
I had updated my RBR flawlessly but the Satellite fought me. I couldn't log in. Taking Furry's advice, I reset the RBR and even then, I was met with resistance, on both Router and sat. Finally, I did the 30-30-30 reset and was able to reconfigure and update firmware to both units. I did select to disable the auto-firmware upgrade feature. It is a much appreciated add back in my opinion.
Be sure you update the RBS FIRST before updating the RBS.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

- I did the upgrade and the satellite didn't work properly initially - the 5ghz radio didn't start up. Had to power off and power on both RBR and RBS to solve the problem. So far so good. Will probably do a full system reset just in case.
