Orbi Lan speed

I have a desktop machine in my office in the back of the second floor of my house (3K sf above grade). It connects via Cat 6 to the satellite in the same room. The satellite connects via backhaul to the Orbi Router (in AP mode) that's sitting on a shelf between the joists in the center of my unfinished basement. The Router is connected to my Google Fiber box via Cat 6.
desktop ----> satellite ----> router (ap mode) ----> GF box.
Speedtest just gave me this:
The only time I've gotten faster speed test results is if I'm on a machine directly connected to the Orbi Router (800-ish up & down) or the GF box itself (950+ up & down).
Not a bad speed indeed. I'm getting about half that when going from my desktop wired to the satellite to a server wired to the router (in router mode).
Seems like my speeds are normal considering the amount of basement stuff the router has to go through (see the "Hallway" part for reference: https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/33028-netgear-orbi-reviewed?showall=&start=3 )
