You'll not see anything near 900Mpbs on 5Ghz AC wifi with 1x1 or 2x2 supporting devices. Most max out at around 300-500Mpbs on WiFi. Nature of the beast.
You should see near or at 900Mpbs with ethernet connected devices.

And all connections to the Orbi Satelites seem to run at half the speed of the Orbi Router.
This is the same for wireless or wired connections to the Orbi devices.
So in the worst case I'm getting around 200mb when connected to a Satelite, instead of 1000mb when connected to the provider router.
What could be causing this?
Never had such issues on old home running in Router Mode. Is this something to be expected from AP Mode operation?
