Tried to disable passthrough and set the RBR20 to AP mode, and it does not help. 😞

Possible that the 20 series may not support anythng near 900Mpbs...or there is something wrong with your RBR. 

I would contact NG support and ask about this. 

If your wiith in a return period with the place you got it, you might return it and get in to a 50 series Orbi system.

I have been using it for almost 2 years. Just upgraded to ATT fiber two weeks ago and see this issue. 

 

Have anyone in this thread solved the issue? I dont see any answers.

Possible that the 20 series doesnt' support near 900mpbs. Looked thru the thread, no body as returned anything faster than 500-600Mpbs.

That would be quite surprising, given the fact that gigabit hub/router speed has been around for so many years. 

 

I do see the other thread mentioned RBR50 had the similar issue solved after a firmware upgrade.  I have strong reason to believe this is mostly a firmware issue.

Yes 1000Mbps has been around for many years. On the WAN and LAN ports. This is a connect rate only, not thruput speed which differs. However this doesn't mean the WAN to LAN speeds will be supported fully. A few factors will inpact this. CPU and handling of the WAN to LAN speeds and if Cut-Thru or HW NAT accelleration is included in the HW and FW to help support seeing anything near 900Mpbs on the WAN to LAN speed with a wired PC. 

 

I have several current 1000Mpbs supporing routers, on the WAN and LAN Ports. they don't support anything near 900Mpbs on the WAN to LAN, just not enough CPU support or no HW NAT accelleration was buit in. 

 

Something to contact NG support about and ask about it.

Thanks. I just went through the support page of netgeat. They ask to pay for Premium Support as my product was bought 2 years ago. Hmm.

Might ask a forum Moderator to see if they can get you information on the 20 series.
