Orbi RBK50 Tech Specs

Hello,

I currently use an Orbi RBK50 router and satellite which is connected via ethernet to my ISP router/modem. I recently upgraded my internet package to include 1gbps download speeds. I can achieve these speeds when connected wirelessly to my ISP modem/router but when I switch to my Orbi RBK50 mesh system, I am maxing out at approx 525mbps. The tech specs indicates it should be able to achieve speeds of upwards of 866mbps. Is there a way to achieve speeds close to what my current ISP plan allows with this particular Orbi router?

Orbi RBR50 is a WiFi5 router (IEEE 802.11ac). What is the WiFi spec on the ISP router and the device being used to measure speed?
