ORBI seems to limit my WIFI signal

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

What wired and wireless devices are you using for speed testing? 

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

You might want to update FW as well:

I just ordered a new subcription at Ziggo (provider in NL) to go from 50Mbs to 500 Mbs. Ziggo changed my modem and I now have a new connectbox and delivers currently via LAN 250 (so that should still increase) and the WIFI signal from the Connectbox is approx 240 (so pretty close to the LAN speed). I have a direct UTP cable between the connectbox and the Orbi (and they are very close to eachother). When I connect to the WIFI network that the Orbi provides, I get only approx 40 Mbs. That is WAY too low. 

 

Could this be a setting problem at the Orbi side?

Or is the Orbi not able to offer higher capacity?

 

I also have an Orbi sattelite (which is located in my first level of the house), it basically delivers also approx 40 Mbs. So also way too low.

 

Hopefully this is recognized and you can help me to solve this.
