Wi-Fi Sweetspots shows connection from 672 to 693. Is that what you need? Thanks!

    Your speeds sound perfectly normal to me. Getting a full 1 Gps connection over WiFi 6 would require you to be probably within a foot or two of the router and having all other conditions be perfect in the room. The full advertised speeds are rarely, if ever, achieveable in the real world.
    
    Out of curiosity, how close are you to the router when you test your speeds?

  Yes. That means your wifi device maybe maxing out at around that connection rate between the wifi device and the Orbi system.
