Not every's bridge mode functions properly. Something to try is to re-enable the Arris's router mode and put the netgear in AP (access point) mode.
another thing you can try is the R8000 recieved netgear armor on the version your on. not all devices responded well. You can try downgrading the firmware a version. if you do this, make sure to do it over a hardwired connection, factory reset afterwards, and manually re-install (not from backup).
also, try dslreports.com for speedtesting.
