RB50 Downlead Speeds
I hav recenty increades my internet speed to 1 GB through Frontier. When I do the speed test through the ORBi App on my iPhone, I get 941 down and 938 up. When I do the speedtest through my browser I get 487 down and 938 up. Is there a configuration in the ORBi Router that limits the download speed?

Did you try different servers?
Not all servers can max out gigabit

No. There is no configuration (option, switch, setting, whatever) that limits download speed.
The Orbi app reports the results of a version of Ookla Speed Test that Netgear includes in the Orbi router. Because the router is connected directly to the ISP device, the results that are displayed are "as high as it gets".
Can you please clarify how speed is being tested with a browser? Is this a browser running on the iPhone that is connected by WiFi to the Orbi?
No, the browser is on my laptop, Chrome, with the 1GB ethernet connection.
