SRR60 Gigabit Wired Speeds
Wired connection on SRR60, FW V2.7.0.122, Windows PC. I'm only getting 5-600 Mbps download. I replaced an ASUS GT-AC5300 that had stability issues with the Orbi, no other changes to the environment, ...

The final answer is that this equipment is NOT gigabit. The router cannot provide gigabit speeds. You never get gigabit speed in any real sense beyond the standard marketing bull*** that companies use to try and trick non-technical consumers by combining multiple sources of traffic and adding those speeds together to make up some fake speed. Typical business jargon like a group a 5 toddlers saying they have a combined 10 years of drawing experience. Is the statement true in some sense? Yes. Is the output going to look like a drawing that has 10 years of experience behind it? Absolutely not.
Looking back at the title of the product and how its marketed, they refer to it as a "Gigabit WiFi System" where as I was incorrectly expecting a "Gigabit Router" as I had no previous experience with mesh "systems". Not sure how it took 6 months of back and forth and a discussion with engineering to essentially say "Gotcha!" but I guess that is the beauty of marketing, you just keep polishing that turd so your sh** eating grin makes sense.
Hope this helps someone else avoid these products, and helps the troglodyte that initially replied asking about my modem.
