Device Text Speed Much Lower than Orbi App Speed

I have just purchased a set of 2-unit RBK50 for a 1400sq.ft apartment. App shows download and upload speeds at 450+Mbps but speed test apps on devices show only 80-100Mbps download and 10-12Mbps upload. Can this be resolved?

one thing to keep in mind, if you're running the speedtestt in the orbi app, it actually hosts the test off the router. so its a hardwired speedtest from router to isp. If you then test with the offical speedtest app, it hosts on your phone and that'd be the wireless speed from ISP------router----device. usually the wireless and device are the bottleneck.  

For that testing, FURRYe38 had good recommendations for checking wireless.
