Xfinity gigabit plan but Orbi maxes out around low 500Mbps

Just ditched the new Xfinity modem (the black technicolor one that looks like some kind of award/trophy) for an Arris SB8200. Before the Arris, my Orbi was consistently getting 400-450Mbps on the Orb...

Can anyone confirm if the Orbi RBR 50's are maxed out at 500Mbps please, i am now seeing varoius threads regarding such and i would expect them to handle the full 1Gbps. My connection is only giving me 480Mbps also and my  RBK50 set is only a few days old and i will return it if it cannot cope with the speed, perhaps a later model can ?

 

Thanks.
