I haven't factory reset, no, but I did have to setup it up again after plugging out my ISP stock router.
I've tested both wireless and wired connection into the modem, doesn't seem to make a difference. Only ever really getting 150mb download

A couple things.
1. QoS: quality of service. basically bandwidth managment
2. You put in one of the prior statements that "it has wifi 6". The RBR50 series doesn't. The RBR850/750 is wifi 6. But not the original orbis. Just to clarify, which do you have?
3. What modem/gateway are you connecting the orbi to? Thats kind of key as if its a combo device, it could have its own qos/settings causing issues.
