Have tagged the more appropriate RBK53, a kit made up from a (1) Orbi Router (RBR50) and (2) Orbi Satellites (RBS50).
The wireless on the RBR50 is spec'ed AC3000 (1733+866+400Mbps), whereas the 1733 radio is a 802.11ac PHY 1733 Mbps 4x4 radio, on 80 MHz channel, 400ns guard interval - when I have it right, it's reserved for the wireless backhaul for connecting Orbi RBS50 only. The access point is a dual-band 866+400Mbps one, with a 802.11ac 866 Mbps PHY on a 80 MHz wide 2x2 channel, 400ns guard interval plus a 2.4 GHz radio. With the right wireless client, non-overlapping channels, ... there is a "budget" for more than 500 Mbps/s - more than what your ISP does assign currently.
