Are you speed testing with a wired or wireless device? Wired is preferred to speed test. Speed test with a PC and OOklas installable speed test app.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

No other wifi neighbors.
Let us know about the model# of the ISP modem.
Have you tried a power OFF of the ISP modem. Factory reset the RBR. Power ON the modem and let it sync. Walk thru the setup wizard on the RBR and leave the RBS off. After the RBR is setup, with out enableing QoS, Traffic Meter or any Access Controls, run a speed test from a wired PC the the speed test app?
