It's odd that you have seen speed issues using a wired connection to the Orbi. I assume you are plugging right into the switch of the router correct? I don't know if you have done the test with just the Orbi router connected and just your computer connected.
I know this is exstream but you may want to do a factory reset (I hate saying that since I don't like that type of soltuion) but there are settings that control how the network switch in the router is configured and will clear out QOS settings. And until they actually allow us to properly configure QOS in their firmware I would suggest leaving the QOS page alone after the reset since there is no option to turn it off and on once a speed test is run.

I have exactly the same experience. Blazingly fast on wirelesss, and unusably slow on wired.
And yes, I had a Cat 6 Ethernet cable connecting my device directly to an Ethernet Port on the back of the Orbi Satellite.
