RBR850 Slower Than Expected
I have an RBR850 Router and an RBS850 Satellite connected to a Spectrum-provided modem. I get 1Gb DL and 1Gb UL from the modem, but the Router degrades my speeds. I'm running firmware V4.6.9.11 on each device which 192.168.1.1 believes is the latest.
Things I've tested:
LAN connection to modem: 1Gb/1Gb
LAN connection to router: 700Mb/250Mb
WiFI connections to router (vary at times)
- Macbook #1: 700Mb/120Mb
- Macbook #2: 700Mb/200Mb
- iPad: 700Mb/250Mb
- iPhone: 750Mb/300Mb
Since the speed is good from the Modem and degrades when it hits the Orbi RBR850 Router, I assume I have a Router problem.
Who can help?

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.Your behind on FW. v.7.x is most current FW. v.21 was most stable. v.31 has IPv6 problems.
Wireless speeds is around good specs for wireless devices. What I saw with my Mac Book Pro 2018 while connected to my 850 series. Pretty good for that device.
