Same issue here, My ISP provides 1 Gbps down/up.
When connected directly (wired) to the ISP router I get ~800-1000 Mbps
When connected to the Orbi's LAN I get ~500mbs download and 934mbps upload.
Same results in the internet speed in Orbi android app.
Tried both: Router and AP modes. Same results.
*Firmware version: v2.2.1.210
Any updates about this slow LAN performance issue?
Thanks

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Does your ISP use PPPoE or DHCP for there services to your modem?
There is more recent FW that you can try:
If you do, upate the Satellites directly to v32 first, then, update the RBR to v212 first, then apply v32. v212 is required before v32 can be applied on the RBR.

I changed cables and tried to use another laptop and I started to get ~800-1000 Mbps on download.
Not sure what's going on with the internet speeds in the android app.
So, my issues resolved for now.
Thanks for the quick response FURRYe38
