REPOST - Massive Difference between Download vs. Upload Speed

I just upgraded for FIOS 1Gb.  All seems well at the FIOS router level.

 

However, the Orbi wireless speeds are vastly different for downloads (slow - typically 20-60Mbps) and uploads (400-500Mbps).  Any ideas why this is happening and what can be done to fix it?   It seems like it would not be a FIOS router or channel issue, since the speeds are fine on the upload side.  Downloads are obviously way more important!

 

Using MU-MIMO and Beamforming with SPEEDTEST app on 2013 Macbook Pro (sitting literally right next to an Orbi Satellite).

 

Thanks for any help!

What country code you use. Try United States, try disable Mu-MIMO and beamforming.

Let other settings to auto.

Try also reset to default factory after upgrade.
