RBR50 gets 900Mbps ethernet to PC, RBS50 gets 400Mbps ethernet to same PC

Just bought the Orbi AC3000 kit from costco to maximize my 1gig internet speed provided by Comcast. I must say my wifi speeds are amazing (roughly 500 - 700Mbps)... I get about 400 Mbps from satellite and I get 900 Mbps from main unit (same PC, long ethernet cord).
Are these units capable of delivering close to gig speeds with a ethernet cable connected to satellite Orbi???
Unless it's wired backhaul setup, it's unlikely you'll get anything close to Gigabit via Ethernet connection from Satellite. Check Orbi/Satellite wireless backhaul linkrate , which should give an idea of what to expect. I also have Comcast Gigabit and my wireless backhaul is steady at 1300Mbps. My max download speed via Satellite is similar to yours on a good day ~500Mbps. On a bad day it's half, hovering around 250Mbps-300Mbps.

Great post above.
The most you could theoretically get is 866 via wfi. Real life will be lower.
Directly wired, 1 gig - based on how your ISP is doing at the time.
Other wired technologies, like Powerline - potentially 1 gig - depends on your home electrical wiring.
Well, it does depend on the wifi device also. Sure your router can do 866, but if your phone (making up an example) is 433, 433 is all you are going to get for that device.
Just curious, you have not seen wireless backhaul connection rate between the RBS and RBR with 1733Mbps? I presume this would only be achived in near perfect conditions.
No. I've not seen 1733Mbps in my current setup. Here is what Orbi backhaul shows right now for the 2 Satellites:

Whats the distance between the RBR and RBS?
Probably distance, environmet and building materials will be a factor in not seeing 1733Mpbs I presume.
