Orbi RBK753s slow speeds with gig fiber?
I recently just purchased the RBK753S and have gig speeds from ATT fiber. My ATT modem is in IP pass through mode to the Orbi and I disabled WiFi on the ATT modem which is a Nokia BGW320. I don’t seem to be getting the speeds I’d expect from the Orbi. My phone is WiFi 6 capable but it’s never gotten more than 500 or so mbps down, regardless of where I am in my house which is about 2000sqft. My PS5 is about 15 feet from my Orbi router and gets at most 200mbps down and it’s also a WiFi 6 device. Any ideas on settings I can tweak to increase speed on my Orbi mesh? The only thing I’ve really tried is a factory reset on Orbi and changing CTS to 2347 as I saw that in another discussion.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the brand and model# of the phone?
How are you speed testing on the phone? Orbi app?
Try speed testing with a ethernet connected PC and Ooklas installable speed test app connected at the RBR.
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor.Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Ensure Enable WMM is enabled. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
- Firmware is 4.6.3.7, the phone is iPhone 11 Pro Max. I’m speed testing the phone using the Speedtest.net app. When I speed test at the RBR using a wired laptop I am getting around the 960mbps down and up. I tried disabling armor with no change in speeds. The RBR and first RBS are like 6 feet from each other if you could go through my basement ceiling to the first floor. Separate floors but relatively close on top of each other and the second Rbs is on my second floor maybe 20 feet from RBR if you went through the floors

Try 30 feet. Separate floors but relatively close on top of each other and the second Rbs is on my second floor maybe 20 feet from RBR if you went through the floors<try 30 feet. Try turning OFF THe RBS and speed test with the phone connected to the RBR only. At least your getting good wired speeds.
