RBK53 ethernet speed slow

What Firmware version is currently loaded?

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
If I'm reading your post correctly, it doesn't make sense that you get 380Mbps WIFI in all the rooms the satellites are in. But your ethernet speeds aren't so great, as you are getting 130 max.
You've already ruled out the cable. Have you rebooted the ISP modem and/or re-configured the Orbi?
