Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update?

So I did the factory reset, set everything back up. But still have major fluctuations on speed. I am paying for 1,000mbps speeds. My speeds seem to hover 350 up and @690 down, with spikes that bring the speeds upto 900, and as low as 80's on both up and download. My streaming tv service tells me all I need is 10mbps for seemless streaming, but I have constant buffering issues.
Any other recommendations??

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
How are you speed testing? Web based speed test or Ooklas installable speed test app?
