Orbi wifi is half the supposed insternet speed

Depending upon your device your speed testing with, most wireless devices may max out at around 400mpbs. Based on designed and support of the device.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Other factors are noise around the Orbi system, configuration and ISP modem as well.
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. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What are your wired speed results with a wired PC connected to the RBR?
Do you have Armor or Cicle enabled?
Has a full power OFF of the Orbi and ISP Modem for 1 minuted then back on been performed since last FW update?
