Slow speeds - does Orbi limit bandwidth by divice?
When I check internet speed using the orbi app it is 600/500 (its direct fibre)
On my iPhone X it’s only 40
On my Samsung TV I don’t know but the streaming keeps glitching as if it’s having bandwidth issues.
Can I specify the bandwidth I give to my TV so it always has sufficient?
What is causing some divices to have slow speeds?

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?
Are wired device speed tests thru the router good?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
