Absurdly slow speeds from outbuilding Satellite
Hello I am hoping to get some help on bad speeds and dropped coverages. I've recently moved into a house with an outbuilding pool house about 150' away. Internet is FiOS and of course, it comes in...
That’s the weird thing - it shows up with a solid line/wired and is rated as “good” On the web interface and with a green indicator in the app.
From appearances it should be functioning.
Overall there seems to be an incredible diminution of speeds on the Orbi WiFi - even the router shows no more than 50-60, sometimes a spike to 100, speeds while plugged directly into the FiOS router. And the pool house is another order of magnitude below everything else.

many fios ont's have an integrated router.
have you seen this article?

If you have, how do you have the fios router and the orbi router configured?
- Yes - that’s exactly what I have - the FiOS WiFi has been disabled and Orbi is running in AP mode
What firmware is on the orbi router and what about the satellites?
If the orbi is in AP mode, the verizon device is controlling the router functions.
Have you tried the orbi in route rmode with it placed in the verizon router dmz? or the verizon device in passthrough mode?
What "tools" are available to help diagnose the situation?
- I am assuming that speed is being measured by using one of the "SpeedTest" web sites on a cell phone, tablet, or laptop, correct?
- Are there laptops with ethernet ports that can be used to help diagnose the situation?
- Can you "telnet" into the Orbi?
Does the attached diagram remotely resenble the situation?
All three satellites report a "Good" connection to the router?
(two over WiFi and one wired. ordinarily a 50ft distance to a satellite would be considered "far", but if the Orbi reports "Good" that would seem to mean that it is "close enough".)
The Pool House satellite is connected directly to one of the Orbi LAN ports (not to a switch).
On the Orbi web interface, the Advanced Tab, clicking on the box "Show Statistics" beings up a display like the attachment.
Does it show the WAN link to Fios as 1000 full and the LAN link to the satellite as 1000 full?
