I'm experiencing the exact same thing. Speedtest GigE hardwired are slower than WiFi.

  I'm experiencing the same thing. Just posted another thread about it, but following here.
  
  I have Xfinity gigabit and my house is wired for ethernet. Before I installed Orbi Mesh, my iMac Pro in my home office was getting ~930 Mbps down.
  
  After installing Orbi, it was getting only 200-300 Mbps!

No switches , hardwired 5 ft away from the Orbi router - Same wire and distance as when I had the old router , Crazy thing is, I plugged a laptop in the router (next to my pc) run the same speed test and it comes back 840mbps.. My main PC reads 317mbps - same upload though. Before I changed to Orbi everything that was hardwire would read 700-900 mbps

  Similar thing here.
  
  iMac Pro > Ethernet wall port > Xfinity router = 930 Mbps
  
  MacBook Pro > USB to Ethernet adapter > Xfinity router = 930 Mbps
  
  Either computer > Ethernet > Orbi AX > Xfinity modem = 80-200 Mbps
  
  I actually disconnected the Orbi system and went back to Xfinity + xFi pods until I figure this out. The speed of my wired connection for my iMac Pro is more important than faster wireless (and I wasn’t really even getting that with Orbi).
  
  I’m considering Unifi wireless access points as an alternative.

    Do either of you have anything on your network (hard wired) like Sonos speakers?
