Hey Henry,

When you put the Orbi into AP mode, what router are you using? When I use my Orbi in AP mode with the 2D supplied Fritzbox as a router, I can attain the advertised speeds. Is it possible that in AP mode, the router you are using is not giving you gigabit speed either?
Long story short, the Orbi doesn't seem powerful enough to accommodate
