Slow Wifi Speeds Orbi
I have 1gig fiber service into my house. I have an Orbi RBR750 with two RBS350 satellites. My wifi is only pulling 241Mbps then when I plug into the Router I get 874Mbps and I got 865Mbps when I plug into the modem itself. I did get some tests up to 965 also. Why cannot I pull the same speed over the wifi when netgear claims this product is capable of up to 4.2gbps?
Is there settings I need to change on the router so that it speaks with the satellites at the proper speed?

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?What WiFi devices do you have? Some may top out at 300Mpbs depending on there support and design.
Make sure when you are speed testing with a wireless device that it's connected at the RBR and not the RBS at a distance.
The Orbi firmware is all up to date. I am getting 960mbps to the Orbi router when I test the speed on LAN. When I go wifi with my New macbook pro is when the speed drops.

How new is this Mac Book? M1 or prior generation? Mines a 2018.
What connection rates are you seeing on the Mac book when it's connected to the RBR?
Speeds seen on my Mac Book Pro top out at around 500-700 depending. Greater distances will cause speeds to drop as well and not much you can do about that.
