You should be seeing this on wired ethernet speeds. Wireless, depends on Mfr of the wifi devices. Most max out at around 400-500Mpbs on 5Ghz AC mode. Less for older wifi devices.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://https://https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
