New Gigabit internet

Please speed test with a PC thats wired to the back of the Orbi router. Use a LAN cable and a web browser on the pc and check speeds.
Most wifi devices will not achieve 900Mb as they are limited on wifi design and technology. Connection rates are just that, rates between the router and the device. Throughput speed differs and for some wifi devices can't achieve anything near 900Mb on throughput speeds.
If you want to know realtime link rates between your wireless device and the Orib, download wifisweetspots. Its free.
I have 1Gb service as well and my wifi devices only see around 400-500Mb max depending on design support.

When the tech was there he had me test the internet speed and I was getting close to 900mbps down with their router. After he left, I disconnected their router and connected it to my Orbi’s. I have the AC3000 RBK50 with 2 satellites. I cannot get more than 550mbps. I know that’s fast, but after seeing 900 it’s disappointing. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
