Change wifi setting for router but not satellite?
I had a thread previously under: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-RBK50-Speeds-Drop/m-p/1955406 Still experiencing issues and after rearranging my set up, I learned something new. When ...
No but it has happened on two different modems from two different ISPs,
and didn't make a difference. First ISP was giving me 150 Mbps over coax, now getting 940 Mbps over fiber.
The satellites give me 400-500Mbps down and 200+ Mbps up over wifi, but if connected to the main router, can only get 40 Mbps down and up.

so what type of modem are you running now?
- I think it's irrelevant. Wifi from satellites gives me expected speeds, measuring speed through Orbi app gives me expected speeds, it's specifically wifi from the RRB50 that caps at 40 Mbps. Regardless of modem, ISP and their speeds, etc. Everything else is fine.
well all righty then
how's your firmware?
- It has happened over probably 3-4 firmware versions over almost exactly one year. I did just update it again last night and will check speeds later, but hopes are not high. I've tried factory resets, set it up from scratch I think 2 times now. I have a feeling it's hardware related somehow because nothing I've changed has impacted it. Restart it and it seems fine, but next day and it's back to capping things at 40 Mbps up and down
