Thanks. I am having Cox come down later today to troubleshoot). Before I had my Orbi 850, I used a Linksys router and had no problems with my internal speeds so the wiring is ok (Cat 5e supports up to 1 gb) As for the wi-fi (5g) the speed tests are coming in at under 100mb.

If wired speeds at the modem are low, then the same would be seen at the Orbi wifi as well.
Once the Modem and issues there are resolve and you finally get to spec speed there, you should see same thru the orbi system as well. The Orbi system can only provide as good as what the modem does.
