Hi... I am having similar issues with my set up. I have the RBR750 along with the BGW320 as the modem. For WiFi I am not getting more than 180 mbps for both upload and download speeds on any of my devices. Even when I'm right next to the router.
I've tried both 2 and 3 methods and still same results.
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.
Is there something that I am not doing to the modem correctly? The "configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost" isn't something that I am familiar with doing. When I run speed tests to the modem it is getting 1000 mbps for both upload and download.
