RBS850 Speed Issues

I am having speed issues with my Orbi Satellite RBS850's. 

Frontier Fiber: Down 1G - Up 1G

 

Recorded today (using my MacBook Pro):

1) Ethernet connection to wall port:  Down 930 - Up 818
2) Orbi connected to that same Ethernet port and Laptop Ethernet connection to Orbi :  Down 94 - Up 94
3) WiFi adjacent to same Orbi:  Down 94 - Up 94

 

This makes no sense to me.

 

Any insights?

  • How is the RBR connected to the ISP? Wall out let? 

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? 
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
