Heys guys Sky Q Sky hub 4.2 orbi rbr850 with 2 satellites. so I’ve tried to get this working myself but the tech terminology has me frazzled. As sky doesn’t allow bridge mode I put m...
I believe he's in router mode since I mentioned using the DMZ on the host ISP router and to try router mode on the Orbi, and he seems to have configured the DMZ for the RBR. So AP mode would not be needed for this configuration.

I'm thinking that too. But Davek77​ said AP mode in the first post. If the Orbi is in router mode, then he could run the Orbi's built-in speed test.
I agree it would be useful to know the speed of his service.
I am wondering about the cabling between the Sky router and the Orbi. I had a performance issue between my Verizon Fios router and my Orbi, and it was because the cat 5e cable couldn't reliably carry 2.5 gbps.
I had mentioned trying router mode in the ISP routers DMZ in one of my early posts...so seems like hes in router mode currently. Hoping this will have better results for them.
Ya, why I recommend for any ISP speeds past 1Gb, CAT6A STP is best. 5e was good for it's time. But has some limits.

Almost all my wiring is CAT-6A, but there are a couple of old CAT-5E runs that would be hard to replace. Since my ISP service is gigabit, I "solved" the problem for now by inserting a gigabit switch on the path.
Funny how those switches come in handy.
