Orbi WiFi 6 Slow WiFi/Inconsistent Speed
First Issue - unable to find the correct model in Netgear Support, so chose the closes model one in the list (RBR50 Orbi AC300). * My Correct Product is RBR750, Netgear AX4200 Orbi WiFi 6 with 1 Sat...
Update: netgear will be replacing the product. I have confirmed that I am getting around 950mbps on average into the house both up/down through my modem ISP provider. What’s on average I can expect Wi-Fi speeds for AC and AX Devices on Orbi?

Glad NG is replacing it. As long as your connection rates are 1300Mpbs or higher, you should see near 900Mpbs. My Mac book pro 2018 seens over 700Mpbs on AC.
In my case, I think I've found that ipv6 was the culprit - when I turned that off I am now getting blazing connections 1200 mpbs to the router, i.e. faster than my internet connection. I don't understand why ipv6 should be the issue, but the problem was not only with speeds: it was kicking my iphone off from even geting proper dhcp addresses when I moved from router to satellite. So something in the ipv6 implementation was blocking proper handshakes it seems. Ipv6 seems optional for now so I'm happy to leave off and by the time we will need it for sure, I'll probably have all new equipment anyway!
Is IPv6 supported by your ISP? If no, IPv6 should be disabled.

- It is certainly supported. And when enabled the router reports correct addresses and connections externally use the ipv6 whenever possible. So it is a bit of a shame to turn off, but the problem with the iphone handshakes was a desk breaker for me
