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.

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.

Distance is roughly around 50ft to 60ft to each Satellite respectively. I might get higher backhaul linkrate with line of sight, but it's not practical given the walls in betweeen nor it's likely going to make much of a difference for daily use. As long as I don't hear/get a complain about disconnect/slow WiFi speed, 250Mbps-500Mbps with full WiFi coverage/range is good enough.
