Slower wired speeds RBK753
I have recently bought the RBK753 kit to help with my network speeds throughout my house. I have a 500mbs fibre connection and plugged the orbi router into my isp router/modem. I have disabled the isp...
Sounds like a configuration issue on the RBR when in AP mode.
Take the IP address that the RBR in router mode, gets from the modem, seen on the RBR advanced tab under Internet section. The WAN IP address seen there, set up a IP address reservation on the modem for this IP address so it doesn't change. Then put this IP address into the modems DMZ or IP Pass thru. Contact your ISP if you need help on how to do this with your modem/router if you need additoinal help and information.

I was hoping my wired connections would be at least the same speeds coming from the same satellite. When unplugging the ethernet connections the WiFi speeds drop even more to around 60mbs.
There is no logical reason for a wired device to achieve less speed than a WiFi device, as long as the device is capable of higher speed.
A useful test would be to connect the X-Box and Sky box directly to the router. If they get the same speed there, they may not be capable of more speed. (It is probably not practical to temporarily relocate either the XBox or the Sky box to connect to the router.)
I actually have 50' and 100' ethernet cables in my "box of network stuff" specifically for this purpose. I string the cable through the house to connect something to the router (temporarily. I do this when alone in the house. Otherwise I would suffer "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.") A $50ft cable is under $15 on Amazon. 100ft cables are under $20.
