Are you testing with a ethernet connected PC with the Orbi. Don't use wireless. Wireless speeds on client side hw varies and some device don't support 900+- speeds. You'll need to check with the devices Mfr to see what actual thruput speeds they support. Most mobile devices don't support much over 400-500Mb.
What FW are you using on the Orbi?

Does the Mac have ethernet support? if it does, try testing with that. Most wifi on Mac or mobile devices won't see those higher speeds.

Hello-
My mac does not have an ethernet port unfortunately. Is there anyway I can change the band width to 5ghz only? Also, thank you for the clear explanation about IOS.
