No router needed to connect one device. Of course, nothing else in the house will have internet during this experiment. Hook it up. Measure speed. Then reconnect the router.

try testing with a hardwired in pc/laptop. The app doesn't always give accurate results

Re: No increase in speed after upgrading my service
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

I have the RBR750 and RBS750 x1. My house is 2 story 2700sqft. I have frontier fios and upgraded from 500/500 to 1gig and didn’t see any change in the numbers. Orbi app is showing 508 download and 510 upload before and after. The RBR750 is connected to the ONT using a cat8 and set for router. I have changed the cat5 to the Cat8, upgraded to the latest firmware on both the RBR and RBS as instructed and factory reset the device and get the same readings, or sometimes less. The 5g is set to 48 and 2.4 is auto. Not sure what I should do next.

When diagnosing speed issues, one relevant question is: "The ISP told me that they upgraded my speed. So, did they actually do it?" Connecting a computer directly to the ISP device (fiber ONT in this case) and running a speed test verifies what speed should be delivered to the customer router.
