RBE771 slow download
I'm having the same issue but everything I've tried is over a wired connection - no wireless. This is what I've experienced. I've just started using Ziply Fiber and signed up for the 2000Mbps...

Thinking that something might have changed that caused this issue, I switched back to the old RBR750 (only supports 1 Gbps). I once again got ~900Mbps down and ~850Mbps up speeds using the Windows based Speedtest on the two Windows systems. Just to clarify, the only thing that has changed (between these two tests) in this environment is the Netgear router. Nothing else has been modified.
I suggest trying some other tools to measure speed (and also trying some different Ookla servers).
