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.

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?
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. Are you testing at the RBR or RBS?
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.
