Not to be mean or anything. I had jus shares off issues with netgear but speed has never been one of them. I am on gigapower and wireless or hardwired in to satellite I get close to 350. Hard wiring in to main router I get 940 ish. Or above 800 most of time. There are a lot of factors that go in to speed. I truly haven’t had any speed issues.
Who is your isp? It could be at times the cable provider is little slower if a lot of people are online.
Are you plugging directly in to router or satellite?
Do you have QOS on? If so turn it off it might be slowing down your test results.

What's up with this --> they pulled v2.1.3.4 off of the download page (link below).

Some have reported being auto-updated to v2.1.3.4 on this board and I saw v2.1.3.4 in the UI as the new firmware version. However, I am still on 2.1.2.18 and the UI no longer shows a newer firmware version as available.

Still shows for the RBK50 — Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System / RBK50

Yeah, but try anything OTHER than "RBK50", such as "RBK53" or "RBR50", and you will not get v2.1.3.4 but an earlier version. Also, as I mentioned previously, I was seeing v2.1.3.4 as a new version in the UI but am not seeing that any longer (v2.1.2.18 is showing as current).
