Any progress on this?

On my Orbi app it shows download speeds of 750 to 940 Mbps (it will vary with tests rarely as low as 750 Mbps but is typically showing above 900). Per the Community pages this is the download speed from the modem to the router. Modem is Arris Surfboard S33 Docsis 3.1.
The highest Wifi speeds we get on any device in our house are very rarely in the 400 Mbps range; but typically they are in the 240-330 Mbps download range. This ranges from older HP laptops (but still Windows 10) and Galaxy S10 to new iPhones and Mac. If I hardwire laptop and desktops the speed only improves about 10 Mbps: right now I’m at 290 Mbps hardwired on an HP E7470.
Why such a drop through the RBR 750? Everyone I talk to says I should be getting 700 to 850 Mbps downloads hardwired, and 600 to 650 Wifi. I have never seen that on any of our devices.
