I found that at least for my 50 series, there seems to be a proble in FW, both old and recent in regards to the WAN to LAN not achieving anything near 900Mbps:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-RBR50-is-not-supporting-900Mb-on-the-WAN-to-LAN-test/m-p/1770816/highlight/true#M64990


There have been mixed reports of some that are seeing near 900Mbps on the WAN to LAN side. Not sure if this is a HW issue or FW issue me and others who do see this. For speeds to achive anything near 900Mbps, HW NAT accelleration or Cut-Through is needed. 

 

AP mode should result in seeing near 900Mbps. 

 

Issue was reported to NG.
