Orbi RBK753s and CM1150 cannot get giga bit speed

Hi:   Just upgraded from RBK50 to RBK753S.  I also has CM1150 modem and Comcast giga bit connection.   The speed test result is similiar as RBK50: about 600 bps.   What went wrong?

Power OFF the modem and RBR for 1 minute then back on and wire speed test.

After I power off and connect a PC using a cable, it is showing 890+ bps.

 

But now when I switch back the previous setup, it is down 560 bps now.  ???
