Oops. Apologies, forgot to mention speeds.
I am now getting with Orbi main and 3 satellites(2 hard wired and 1 via mesh) Max upload speed of 100 mbps and 70 mbps upload.
Spoke to tech support and was pretty much a waste of time.
She asked me to set the primary and secondary dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Any other tips?

Check to see if you're connected at multigig, gigabit, or 100mbps connection

maxing out at 100mbps makes me suspicious of the connection

A speed of "almost 100Mbps" is often a clue that the router has auto-negotiated the Ethernet link at 100M/Full Duplex.
Can you check the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab home page. Click the blue box "Show Statistics" to see what is listed for the WAN port?
If it reads 100M/Full, it might be a good idea to try a different Ethernet cable for the WAN port to the fiber box.
