Thank you for your patience,

Checking the speed test method as others mentioned that speed testing thru a external app and wired connection results in seeing to spec speeds. Something I've seen myself. Yes it's known that the built in speed test app and Orbi app are reporting inaccurate results vs external apps report to spec speeds. Some users posting about this issue may not know about this. This doesn't mean the entire system is bad, just the speed testing of these apps is the problem. Doean't really effect over all performance. NG is aware of this as I believe someone said already they mentioned the issue to them thru support contact lines.

Furry, why the question. This is known fact that max speed by app or built in speed test(routerlogin/orbilogin) reduces to 600s
speedtest on a web browser is accurate only if directly connected with an ethernet cable to the router. No third party app is reporting close speeds otherwise(on wireless)
I found that web browsers can effect speeds as well. Sometimes all those Ads cause slow downs. I prefer to use Ooklas speed test app for Windows and Mac for best accurate speed testing:
- To keep it very simple , All my speed tests for orbi were from wire/ethernet cable plugged to the RBR750 router that's connected to Verizon modem.
I used the Ookla site via browser on my desktop connected via ethernet- this was what netgear support also mentioned and not use either of the speed tests that come in orbi app or web gui although I have seen very similar results on those as well for speed tests.Hopefully NG is fixing this on there side.
Seems maybe they are starting too. I beleve it was mentioned that this was NG cloud issue that is something that is nof fixed in FW, rather on there services.
