I have ATT fiber 1000. I have the Orbi router connected to the ATT gateway. I have the ATT modem in Passthrough mode.
When I did this I selected the RBR in the MAC address list I didn’t change anything else.
I am getting 985 upload speed and 698 download speed at the ATT gateway but when I do a speed test on the WiFi signal they are both in the 200s - am I doing something wrong?

What are wired speeds with a wired PC thru the Orbi?
What wifi devices are you using to speed test wireless? Some devices will max out at around 400-500Mbps. I believe some newer phones should be able too see higher speeds.

I was checking them on my iPhone (X) the ATT speeds I checked through the ATT 192.168.1.254 interface.- FURRYe38Dec 26, 2019Guru - Experienced User
Ok, so lets do this, disable pass thru on the ISP modem and configure the RBR for AP mode. Ensure the Modems wifi radios are disabled. Use a wired PC connected to the RBR with both RBSs turned off for now. Lets work with the RBR alone for now. What speeds are seen using this configuration.
