I have an Orbi RBR750 and it's been working fine up until recently. Firmware is up to date, however it's throttling my bandwidth and I'm not sure why. Direct connection between modem and computer gives me the fastest speeds, but when I go through the Orbi the bandwidth is throttled. I'm connected via Ethernet cable, so it's not a wifi issue, however turning on the wifi yields the same result. Yes, I've tried restarting both, but nothing seems to work.
What is the CAT# lan cable between the modem and router? CAT6 is recommended.
Is Armor or Parental controls enabled on the RBR?

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.

Completed the sequence, not helping.

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.
