    My issue is resolved. Turned out to be a problem with xfinity. After rebooting everything and plugging PC directly into modem i was only getting 350Mbps from modem. After an hour on the phone they admitted my speed was wrong. They did something, i lost internet for a few min and it came up. I now get 950Mbps on my wired PCs through the Orbi. All is good. Make sure to check speed going in!
