I bought the new Orbi Mesh System AX 6000 (RBK853) including 1 Router RBR 850 and 2 Sattelites RBS 850.

I was able to set it up but the speeds look wrong to me. I have ethernet speed of about 950 mbps down and 975 mbps Upload.

Speed test with my Sony Xperia on 5G is donwload 276 Mbps Upload 539 Mbps (using Speedtest App).. i am about 5 feet from the wireless router. Next to my first sattelite i have 230/350 and the 2nd satelite 140/250.   Any suggestions how i can get my speed higher. 

Regarding speed, check your settings:

Check for channel interference, due to too many neighbors on the same WIFI channel. If so, try another channel.

uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM
Configure IpV6, I chose Google's IPv6 servers
