@FURRYe38: Just to make sure... This thread did not start as the Speedtest on the "Orbi app" which I understand to be the "Orbi app on the phone". It was started by @Tbreneau with the complaint "I have a 1Gig service from Xfinity and at their modem I verified speed of 999, however when checking speed of same connection between my Orbi Router and the Xfinity modem via o Netgear internal Orbi Router app Speedtest I only get 400-430 Mbs speed no matter the configuration. What is going on with the netgear device’s speed check?". In other words, it seems to have been intended to be about the Speedtest page running on the Orbi router reporting half the speed available to it by the ISP, without involving neither the phone app nor the direct connection of any PC to the router. Therefore, this forum seems like the correct place to continue this discussion about the Speedtest page on the RBR50's admin web page.
It is your other thread (Orbi RBR50 is not supporting 900Mb+- on the WAN to LAN test) that is about WAN-to-LAN issue you are seeing & reporting. As some of the posts on this thread, including mine, alluded to, what you are seeing on your PC seems to be sporadically observed by the others as well, and might be based on the test server Speedtest on a PC connects to, but there might be other parameters yet to be discovered.

PS: And, I believe, the only thing the Orbi phone app's Speedtest is doing is to ask the router to run its own internal Speedtest code, and then report the results back to the phone app. So, the Speedtest feature isn't really a phone app feature but a router feature.
