The fiber ONT includes a router or switch by design. To connect two routers directly, you’ll need additional wiring or a network setup. The wireless access point should remain functional as long as the fiber connection is intact.
LAN ports on the ONT are set up in this order: Port 1 - Route mode Port 2 - Bridge mode Port 3 - Bridge mode Port 4 - Bridge mode Ports 1 & 4 are assigned internet IPs, Ports 2 & 3 handle IPTV. With two dynamic IP addresses, Port 1 and Port 4 get separate external IPs. Port 1 operates in router mode, using a local IP and connecting via Wi-Fi (192.169.*). Port 4 receives an external IP, allowing VR900 to function independently from Port 1 and the Wi-Fi network.
When testing directly via Ethernet on port 4 through the ONT, does the speed drop consistently?
VR900 V2 lacks QoS capabilities, while VR900 V3 does support them.
The only thing I think is that something might be set up incorrectly. Smalnetbuilder.com didn’t run any tests on the VR900 V2, so I’m unsure what the expected bandwidth for WAN and LAN to LAN should be. However, if you can measure the actual speeds over a few days, the router should be able to handle them.

Determine the maximum number of simultaneous wired and wireless connections your VR900 can handle before performance drops. Some routers consistently underperform. CPU throttling occurs with excessive connections or memory saturation. It seems a replacement router might be necessary. Before replacing, test three alternatives: use only wired connections, turn off wireless entirely in software, and disable logging locally (to check memory usage). Also, disable all items in System Tools > CWMP, including connection request authentication.
