Verizon 5G MiFi M1000 with Orbi RBK852?

Can you even use a router with a hotspot? I got this system connected but it killed the download rate, whereas the upload was normal.

Unless your hot spot as a LAN output port from the M1000 to the RBRs WAN port input, then no. the RBR needs a RJ45 port connection with a ISP Modem or ONT or a upstream router. The M1000 doesn't have a RJ45 LAN port.
