Orbi Not Giving Half the Speeds Even

So you have 1 RBR50 and 2 RBS50 satellites. Being AC3000, they should be 30 plus feet apart. Make sure Daisy chaining is off, since they are wired.
Did you check these settings:
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit Beam Forming and Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
Yea after changing those settings rebooting, testing getting the same results. Updating firmware and rebooting, then testing again. Im still getting the same results. Just barely half the speeds I should be getting.
WIFI speeds can be less the further away from the router or satellites you are. Also interference can cause slowdowns. Use an app like NetSpot to see what neighbors are on what WIFI channels and choose a less crowded channel.
