RBR 10
RBR 10 - 4 satellites I have gigabit internet from my provider (Century Link), and the Orbi app tells me that the speed is 700+ Mbps download and 850+ Mbps upload, which some research has told me is...

Are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
The orbi devices do bandsteering and can move devices between 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
2.4ghz is much much slower than 5ghz.
Also, just an fyi, the RBR10's aren't going to hit gigabit speeds over wireless. The primary router can do it over a hardwired connection but wouldn't hit it over wireless.

Your sure your device is connected to 5gh?
What device are you testing on?
A device with only a 1x1 antenna isn't going to have the same speed as a 2x2 device.
