RBR750 Throttling Bandwidth
I have an Orbi RBR750 and it's been working fine up until recently. Firmware is up to date, however it's throttling my bandwidth and I'm not sure why. Direct connection between modem and computer gives me the fastest speeds, but when I go through the Orbi the bandwidth is throttled. I'm connected via Ethernet cable, so it's not a wifi issue, however turning on the wifi yields the same result. Yes, I've tried restarting both, but nothing seems to work.
