Not getting gigabit speed on wifi
My router's wifi doesn't support gigabit speed, neither through lan connection from router. If I connect my pc directly to the modem, it gives me proper speed but through router never received more than 100 Mbps. Badly need a solution regarding this.

1. What modem/gateway is it connected to?
2. What firmware is the router on?
3. how are you speedtesting wired? (device, website, app)
4. wireless won't hit gigabit speeds. It wasn't until AX that we started hitting gigabit speeds wireless and thats when you're running AX card, are close to the router, and have no interference.
What wifi devices are you speed testing with?
Orbi AC is not supporting of anything near 900Mpbs on 5Ghz AC. Most devices cap out at around 300-400mpbs depending on there design and support.

sounds like you need a new router
FYI....you'll never see what you pay for on WIFI
- Max speed I get through wifi is only 100Mbps. This is what bothering me.

Reading this again, I wonder if you could look at the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab home page, and click on the blue box inside Internet Port titled "Show Statistics". What does it show for the WAN and LAN links?
For comparison, this is what my setup looks like:
