Netgear Orbi Rbk50
I have the Netgear Orbi RBK50 behind the Ziggo modem, which is in bridge mode. in the beginning the wifi speed was high. almost as much as the provider delivers. e.g. 186Mbps of the 200Mbps supplied....
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

Do wireless and wired speed tests compare the same or differently?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
