The Orbi theoretically should be able to handle 1000Mb on the WAN to LAN since all RJ45 ports are 1000Mb supporting. The wireless speeds will never see much over 400-500Mbps depending upon wireless client HW and Mfr design. 

 

Testing of a 50 series RBR has not seen anything near 900Mbps on the WAN to LAN side tests with a wired PC.
