Sounds like a configuration issue on the RBR when in AP mode.
Take the IP address that the RBR in router mode, gets from the modem, seen on the RBR advanced tab under Internet section. The WAN IP address seen there, set up a IP address reservation on the modem for this IP address so it doesn't change. Then put this IP address into the modems DMZ or IP Pass thru. Contact your ISP if you need help on how to do this with your modem/router if you need additoinal help and information.

Re: Slower wired speeds RBK753
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? IF your ISP Modem has a built in router, This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

Why would someone buy a orbi router if your current modem already has a router built in? So confusing to me.
Many people find that the ISP device does not provide adequate coverage of their house. They want 'fast WiFi' everywhere, not just in the room with the ISP device.
A common solution is to purchase a package of WiFi access points that can be spread around the house and enable fast connections everywhere. Netgear makes a couple of solutions, as do Asus, TP-Link, Amazon, Ubiquiti, Linksys, etc. All of these systems include a router.
After I installed the Orbi, I asked my ISP to replace the combination modem/router/WiFi device with a "modem only" device.

I was hoping my wired connections would be at least the same speeds coming from the same satellite. When unplugging the ethernet connections the WiFi speeds drop even more to around 60mbs.
There is no logical reason for a wired device to achieve less speed than a WiFi device, as long as the device is capable of higher speed.
A useful test would be to connect the X-Box and Sky box directly to the router. If they get the same speed there, they may not be capable of more speed. (It is probably not practical to temporarily relocate either the XBox or the Sky box to connect to the router.)
I actually have 50' and 100' ethernet cables in my "box of network stuff" specifically for this purpose. I string the cable through the house to connect something to the router (temporarily. I do this when alone in the house. Otherwise I would suffer "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.") A $50ft cable is under $15 on Amazon. 100ft cables are under $20.

Re: Slower wired speeds RBK753
Any decent ethernet cable will support 1 gigabit. Ethernet cables are rated at 90m distance and perform better when shorter. A 100ft cable is about 1/3 of 90 meters.

Re: Slower wired speeds RBK753
Yes.
Contact the ISP and ask for help and information regarding there modem/router. I see DMZ on one of your pictures...that should be used.

Re: Slower wired speeds RBK753
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
