Wifi won't hit the same speeds as wired.
there's more network overhead, interference, and device limitations over wifi.
But wired doesn't have those same issues.
So the wired/wireless speeds are an expectation. you can read more about it here:
Understand Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E (802.11 n/ac/ax) (duckware.com)
seems a little off for the mac to have a 975mbps link rate as the RBR50 has a 866mbps fronthaul (link connection)
