Fast Ethernet - Slower WiFI - Orbi RBR750/RBS750

[HarryBe]

Running RBR750 (drop down wouldn't let me choose).  At router via ethernet (direct from Frontier gateway) I'm getting published speeds of ~500mbs.  On iPhone 12 pro and MacBook Air, getting much slower speeds, around 200mbps.  I know there is a cost to Wi Fi, but this is a wifi 6 router and phone.  I should be getting faster.  It is consistent across multiple places in the house.  What sort of degredation should I be expecting on this setup?  Any ideas what to check/change?

Router:  RBR750

Satellites:  RBS750

Firmware:  4.6.5.14

Thanks for any insights!

I know it sounds stupid but it doesn't say if you're connected to 2.4ghz or 5ghz. 

2.4ghz is much much slower. If you're hitting 200mbps over 2.4ghz, thats actually blazing fast for 2.4ghz. 

Not as much for 5ghz.

Good question - it is connected to 5Ghz.  See below.

I also see the link rate is 864mpbs.  Assuming that is between the router and the satellite?

Should be faster than hell on that satellite with that link rate...
