I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute then back on. Factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch. Turn OFF the RBS for now. Disconnect ALL other devices from the RBR. Setup the RBR from scratch using 1 wired PC and web browser.
Be sure to not enable Armor, SPC or Traffic Meter. Once you complete the setup wizard. Log out of the web page and close the browser.
Run a speed test using Ooklas installable speed test app.
Also try speed testing with a different PC as well to compare results.
