RBS850 Speed Issues
I am having speed issues with my Orbi Satellite RBS850's.
Frontier Fiber: Down 1G - Up 1G
Recorded today (using my MacBook Pro):
1) Ethernet connection to wall port: Down 930 - Up 818
2) Orbi connected to that same Ethernet port and Laptop Ethernet connection to Orbi : Down 94 - Up 94
3) WiFi adjacent to same Orbi: Down 94 - Up 94
This makes no sense to me.
Any insights?

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, IPv6, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.
