What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Has the ISP modem and RBR and PC been powered OFF for 1 minutes then back ON with the modem first, then RBR and PC?
Be sure the LAN cable is of good quality. CAT6 is recommended.
Be sure nothing else connected to the RBR is streaming during speed testing.
Be sure your wired PC is connecting at 1000Mbps connection rates.

Thank you for your recommendations. I'm gonna change to the cat 6 cables as mine are just old cat 5 I had in the house. When I installed the orbi I updated to newest firmware but the version number is different then yours. Also when I bought the system it said RBK852 but on the App it labels it as an RBR750. Is there something I am missing here?

What version of FW did you install?
What model # is printed on the box? 852 or 752?
CAT 6 will be great. What I use.

Very well may be a limitation of the Laptop and not Orbi.
If the laptop has an adapter that is able to go more than 100 meg, double check to ensure it is configured properly and has current drivers.
