With that measured speed, there should be no issues. One tool I use for troubleshooting is the Orbi "app" (iPad or Android) because under Device Management it shows which WiFi channel a device is connected to and the "link rate". There have been instances where users report terrible performance on 2.4G and it turned out that they had a single device connecting at 2.4G that could only do 802.11b (the earliest, slowest standard). 2.4G adjusts to the device with the lowest capability, and no other devie can take advantage of their higher capabilities.
