RBR840 limited to 100 MB
RBR840 limited to 100 MB. Up to a week ago I was getting 940 MB up and down wireless and LAN, now only 100 on both. 1G fiber verified. And I checked Cat-5e and 6. Also software is up-to-date.
Restarted modem and ORBI
V4.6.14.3_2.3.12
AT&T BGW320-500
Cat-6, yes
WAN 100M/Full
Test 972 Down, 951 Up
So the port on the RBR is reading 100Mpbs connection rate to the PC?
What is the connection rate seen on the WAN port to the ISP modem?
Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. 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=desktop
