Try reset the router and do a fresh setup.
This is my setup:
Firmware .122
Enable AX
Enable OFDMA both 2.4ghz and 5ghz
5G channel 44
HT80 or HT160
Enable MU-MIMO
QoS: Enable WMM both both 2.4ghz and 5ghz
Dont't plug anything to USB
try it to see if it works.
- arthurbegMay 15, 2020Aspiranthave the exact same settings on a fresh fractory reset.After further testing i found out just about every server on speedtest was running 300mbps except for 2 out of the 20 i went through, bluespan and sprint with those i was able to see 650mbps. Got my cat8 wire helped those jump up to 700mbps then got a rgb11 wire for the router and that bumped me up to a consistent 750mbps on my iphone. Only issue is sometimes for long periods of time those speeds will drop down to 200-300 and a couple rooms get those speeds always. So i’m thinking about possibly switching to the orbi ax600
- arthurbegMay 15, 2020Aspirantforgot to mention with those 2 wire upgrades all the servers that were capping out at 300mbps now cap out at 400mbps

authburg, I have the same pair of devices.
Are you referring to the wires between the router and the modem?
Did you say you were using link agregation?
- arthurbegMay 15, 2020Aspirantyes the rg wire that goes from your wall to your modem typically is a rg5 or rg6. i upgraded to a rg11 and the cat wire that goes from the modem to your router got upgraded to a cat8 wire. i do not have link aggregation on
