Be sure to try on of the 3 suggestions since your modem has a built in router.
Test wired speeds first. Wireless can be problematic an inaccurate.
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 disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Hi FURRYe38,
these tests are all via wireless connection to the Orbi,
Orbi is connected via cat 5E cable to NBN Modem,
We pay for 100mbps NBN Fibre to the Home, fibre runs direct into the NBN modem
