Hi pkhatri,
I maybe wrong but cat5 cable has a bandwidth of up to 100 MHz, supports 10 or 100Mbps speed.
And what are the specs of your wired and wireless network cards? What is the max speeds it can reach as per the manufacturers documentation? The P510 was released in 2016, so the network cards may not support the speeds you are expecting. Have you also tried updating the drivers?
The speedtest on the Orbi GUI is the speed from the Orbi to your Hitron modem. the speedtest on your pc is from the Orbi to your pc/device.
Hope this helps.
