WiFi Speed Slow - ATT Fiber 1000

Question

I have ATT fiber 1000. I have the Orbi router connected to the ATT gateway in router mode and I have the ATT modem in Passthrough mode. When I did this I selected the RBR in the MAC address list I didn’t change anything else.
I am getting 985 upload speed and 698 download speed at the ATT gateway but when I do a speed test on the WiFi signal they are both in the 200s - am I doing something wrong?

ATT devices are notorious&nbsp;for their passthrough mode not working properly.A fast, easy check?Put the att router back in router mode, disable its wireless, and place the orbi in access point mode.&nbsp;If you speeds go back to what's expected, the att passthrough isn't functioning as it should.&nbsp;

This is how I initially had it and speeds were similar I was hoping that setting it up in Passthrough and the RBR in router would push a better signal to the Orbi router.

What firmware are you on?Are you testing wired or wireless?have you tried resetting the orbi at all? Never a bad idea if the firmware has changed and had issues afterwards.&nbsp;
