Orbi RBK752 Speeds
Hi all, I recently picked up an Orbi RBK 752 AX4200 kit which has the RBR750 and RBS750. My ISP is AT&T Fiber with a 1 Gbps plan. After setting up the Orbi kit, maximum wifi speeds I can get is aroun...
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?
What are wired speed results with a PC and using Ooklas installable speed test app connected at the RBR?
What wireless devices are you using to speed test with?
Firmware is currently v3.2.15.25.
AT&T Modem is a Pace 5268AC.
Wired speeds at the RBR is around 500 Mbps down.
I've tested wireless on:
- 2019 Macbook Pro with Airport Extreme network card- Two different PCs both equipped with a Wifi 6 AX3000 PCI-E wireless card.

You can try upgrading to v32 and see. What I'm using. ALso using default CTS value of 64.
AT&T Modem is a Pace 5268AC.
What node is this modem working on? Router or Bridge? Bridge would be recommended.
This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
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. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopWired speeds at the RBR is around 500 Mbps down.

At what distance are these devices from the RBR?
FURRYe38 and Mikey94025 the Pace AC5628 modem from AT&T doesn't have a bridge mode, but it is already set in DMZ plus mode which is like a passthrough. This can be verified by the Orbi router having the external WAN IP address.
As far as the wireless test speeds, those are from sitting right in front of the RBR (with my MacBook). So it should theoretically be the best connection I can get.
I will try to manually update to v32 and do a factory reset to see if that helps...
