Verizon Fios ONT & AX6000
Ok - I got a weird issue.... I hooked up my Orbi AX6000 directly to the ONT using a Cat7 cable. Pretty rockin you'd think, right? Not so much. Speed is actually SLOWER than if I hooked up th...
Please make a new post about your NAS connection issues.
Please mark this thread as solved so others will know.
Something to look into:
Thank you.

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Built in router here? If so,
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-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
No double NAT. I've already verified. All ports are open. All game systems say OPEN. My QNAP NAS is perfectly able to connect, do VPN, etc. No issues what so ever.
Everything works BETTER but is SLOWER. It was faster, but not as stable using the Gateway. Wondering if something else.
It's the standard quantum gateway the G1110 or whatever and the standard ONT they use (don't know that model number).
Double NAT is not the issue, I've verified that. No IP conflicts, nothing of those sorts.
Thanks though!
I have it "set up" correct for the gateway and the orbi. But I'm thinking I may need/want to tweak a setting in the Orbi that is possibly slowing me down.
I have video working, the Gateway is essentially disabled except for the STBs of the TV service and the Orbi is the main driver.... just working slower. You'd think it'd be faster.
When you say slower, what is slower? Can you provide some numbers so we know how much slower your system is?
Also, is your ONT connection going into the Orbi's WAN port?
Hopefully your ONT is bridged then. This is a gateway ONT which has a buit in router.

If the ONT allows the connection, does that mean that the ONT is bridged? Or could it not being in bridge mode be what the problem was? My Gateway was in bridge mode.
