Speed Test Issues

Hello, 

 

I am having this exact issue from this community post:

 

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-Limiting-bandwidth-wired-and-wireless/m-p/1675266#M47241

 

But I don't understand the "solution". How can I properly test my internet speed when connected through the Orbi?

 

If I connect a laptop direct to my modem, I get 900 something mbps. If I connect the laptop direct wired to the Orbi router, I get 550-ish. If I run a speed test from the Orbi firmware, I get 550-ish. If I run a speed test from a PC wired to a satellite upstairs, I get 300. 

Anything fully wireless seems to vary greatly on location and device. 

 

What speeds am I supposed to believe and trust? How can I determine if I am getting the full 1.2Gbps from my ISP if the Orbi limits me to 550? Can someone explain more as to why this is? Should I be concerned?
