Configured the router with my ISP PPOE settings and if I connect my laptop with a cat6 to the router i get the full speed: 900+mbps download and 110 mbps upload, so I m very happy with these.
If I connect with a wifi I get 500-600 mbps download and 30mbps upload which is kinda strange!
Are you complaining that your wifi speeds are not as fast as your wired speeds? If so, that's down to the laws of physics.
Wifi is never as fast as wired. It also depends on the nature of your wifi clients, the receivers. For most devices 500 Mbps is excellent. Indeed, you will find it hard t get anywhere near those speeds with most wifi clients.
You are talking about wifi speeds here?

By the way, when you change your Internet service – hardware, supplier or speeds – you have a different network. So it helps to start from scratch. Tell all the devices on the network to forget any settings carried over from your previous network.
You may have done this. I can't tell from your message.
You have posted in the section given over to the Orbi app. I doubt if that has much to do with your network's performance. You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
