Recently, I was able to upgrade my internet connection to a full-fibre set-up, offering max speeds of 500Mbps down/75Mbps up. This was only connected yesterday, so the connection itself is still 'settling', though I have been able to get not far off this via an ethernet connection to the router (e.g., 425Mbps down/75Mbps up)
The first thing to investigate when you change your Internet service is the router's configuration. It will have acquired various settings from the previous service. Now that you have got something faster, you want to clear out any memory of the earlier service.
One way to do this is to factory reset the router and set it up from scratch. An alternative is to run the Internet Setup Wizard.
You can always create a backup of your current settings so that you can restore them if the reset gets you nowhere.
When it comes to wifi speeds, remember, the wifi client is more important than the wifi source. The source may deliver the fastest wifi going but if the clients can't handle it, you won't see that speed. One way to test this is to try the same wifi clients on several different wifi services. Does your mobile phone run a lot faster when it is away from your Orbi router? If not, don't blame the router.
