make contact with your ISP. Some Orbi systems are setup with ISP FW and can't use stock NG FW.

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What are the wired speed test results with a wired PC connected to the base?
Wireless speeds depend on device. Max speeds seen around 400-500Mb on wireless depending upon Mfr design of the device.

FW = Firmware
Ask your ISP about the modem Manufacturer and model # your using.

I see your behind a few versions of FW.
Maybe time to graduate to v32. You can manually download files from here:
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50.aspx#download
Note:
If you’re manually updating the firmware using a browser, you cannot update the firmware directly to v2.3.0.32. You must first update the firmware to v2.2.1.212 on the RBR. After updating the firmware v2.2.1.212 on the RBR, your Orbi router will reboot, and then you can update to v2.3.0.32. You can directly apply v32 to the RBS with out the v212 file.
If you are located in the following regions Japan (JP), Australia (AU) and Canada (CA) please hold off updating to FW 2.3.0.32
