I'm having a similar(?) issue. My QOS speedtest does not return accurate results. I can perform a speedtest, wired through the Orbi and get 900+ Mbps, but the QOS speedtest never pulls over 400Mbps.
Same Model/Firmware as OP.

If you get the speed you need on your clients, then forget about the Orbi speedtest. Router-based speed tests are often inaccurate because routers are designed to efficiently pass traffic throught the router, not serve as endpoints.

Fair enough. I just wondered if there was a setting I hadn't set up correctly in order for that to be accessed and assessed, and hence optimized...
Internet speeds in Australia are pretty slow so I'm not likely to exceed the bandwidth of the orbi anytime soon, so maybe ill leave things as they are for now.
Thanks
