I just installed my Orbi AC3000 / RBK50 on FIOS as well and I am not getting the expected speeds either.
I have Fios Gigabit (1 Gig) and I am 3 feet from the Orbi router and getting 300-500 Down and only 120 up when I use the Orbi phone app and about 250MB up/down when I use speedtest.net tool on my PC (WiFi).
I disabled Verizon Fios WiFi as instructed and have my Orbi router connected to the Fios router and 1 Sattelite that glows blue on another level of the house. I feel like something is wrong with the set-up or there is some type of interference, but cannot diagnose. Anyone know of any tools out there to properly troubleshoot?

a single wifi connection max speed is 433 mb/s. seeing 250-300 speed test is completely normal. you will never see full 1gb/s unless your wired. best case is a 2x2 connection on the orbi you may see 600 mb/s.

Thanks for your reply. What is a 2X2 connection?
