Ok...didn't understand 😬
lomg story short....all pots allows up to 1gb. Problem is apparently all TVs typically have 10/100 Ethernet , and turns out my laptop also has same. When I connected my Orbi satellite via Ethernet...it was pulling the 400+MBs speeds.

Very strange indeed. What connection rate shows up on the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab Home Page, click on "Show Statistics"?
How is the speed being measured?
