You'll not see much past 500Mpbs on 5Ghz AC. Due to limitations of devices, 2x2 MIMO and the design of the WiFi in general, will limit speeds seen. Also distances and environment noise and wifi neighbors will be a factor as well. You should see and can see near 900Mpbs on a ethernet connection with the RBR though.
Placement and distances between the RBR and RBS is key. 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Try a full on factory reset on the RBR and setup from scratch...
Once I did that, I am no longer seeing the old password. Thank you it appears it is now resolved. Do you have any idea about the reduced speed issue or if the numbers are normal.
