Thank you both for the response.
I am with Verizon on 1 Gbps symmetrical FiOS service using an Alcatel Lucent I-211M-L ONT. It was connected to the RS90 via the provided in box RJ45 ethernet cable.
I've since reverted back to the RAX54 for the time being using the same new RJ45 cable and am getting wired speeds of 7-900 Mbps down / up and wireless speeds of 3-400 Mbps down / up.
I am speed testing using the Nighthawk app speed test wirelessly on my iPhone, Speedtest.net wireless and wired on my laptop, and also Speedtest.net wireless and wired on my desktop PC.
Armor (via app), Protection Engine (via web GUI), Access Controls and Traffic Meter are all disabled. I saw on some old forum posts that QoS may also affect this but seems the RS90 doesn't have much in the way of QoS features so I didn't find a setting to disable for this.
Look forward to the trial firmware if available ...
