Hello GWild,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are having speed issues with your CBK40. I noticed that you reloaded the previous network settings after you completed a factory reset.
Please try a factory reset without reloading the past configuration backup data then test your network speeds.
Best,

I checked mine last night.
I first loaded the CBK system with v2.1.4.6 and v2.1.4.16 on the RBS. Factory reset and setup from scratch.
Had a Mac Book Pro ethernet connected to the RBS.
Speeds on the down were over 400Mpbs which is the range I had seen before. 50Mpbs on the Up was good too. Ran 3 tests back to back to be sure.
I then loaded v2.5.0.28 on the CBR40 and v2.7.3.22 on the RBS20. Powered both units OFF for 30 seconds then back ON. After the units were back up and settled, Speeds on the down were over 400Mpbs. 50Mpbs on the Up was good too. Ran 3 tests back to back to be sure.
I'll leave my CBK40 online for a few days and check speeds at the RBS each day.
