    I was able to get my hands on a Ipad 2 and test it on my orbi  and I am getting the same result as you are it will not go over 20 mbs enen though my laptop is getting 70+ on speed tests I will pass this along to our engineers to see if we can find out why.

just google ipad2 capped at 20mbps

 

it is a combination of the ipad only using 20mhz and prob only connecting to the 2.4 gig band , check what band the ipad is connected to and if the orbi 2.4 gig ch is set to auto or a specific ch as if its specific it sets the max sync at 400M

 

its also possible its a wmm issue , try disabling WMM in the qos
